Granted I never shot with this lens but I couldn't resist posting this here since I never knew this existed before a week ago and thought some of you may appreciate the lens...

That I saw at a show? That Sigma 500mm that comes with its own LCD panel.


It was probably the 29k Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8.

Do you have some samples of this Hubble Telescope setup?


The Hubble Telescope is a mirror-based design, the type of lens that everyone here seems to frown upon. I've considered getting myself a mirror lens to photograph the sky, but I just haven't bothered yet.

That being said, the longest for me is a Nikkor 300 f/4.5 AI-s.

Which is the longest Canon (this word makes it ok to have this thread in this forum, I hope ) lens you've ever shot with? Other brands are also ok.


I'm going to answer your question in a literal sense...My longest lens is about 13 inches but if I retract the hood, it's closer to 10 inches.

@Omar ...

Maybe we can also include the widest too
Canon 10-22 on a Canon 30D ... that'd be 16mm effective

Already mentioned longest, but the widest would have to be a Sigma 12-24 I owned for a little while on my 1D3. Fun lens!

LONGEST
A lens - 200 2.8 with a 2tc on a 30D = 640
B lens - 300 4 with a 2tc on 30D = 960


A lens wins hands down.

WIDEST
17-40 on a 30D (Did not like the distortion) I limit myself to 24
