That's real cool.

Not in K-mount though!

Interesting. As @MarkJerling said, not in K Mount. But M42 is all you need because it will be manual focus. And once they start to make knock-offs the price will come down.

$20 million?
Better be insured.
Forklift driver must have been quite nervous transporting that parcel.

I was impressed at how they claim that in three days they will have taken more images of more of the sky than all the other telescopes before it.

I wonder how responsive LightRoom is processing a 3200mp raw file?

I think we're gonna need a bigger program...

If there isn't a tripod mount on it, then no sale.

I just watched that video! So cool, especially because that is one awesome lens.

I also know an engineer on the GMT, which, while not as large a CCD sensor, has six massive 5M wide mirrors which take almost 2 years to make.
