Awesome!
Hand-held, too!
And he's not even straining!
He makes it look easy. Plus the model he used makes the lens even sexier (despite the drab design and colour).

Well, the sample portraits are just stunning, but I'm not sure you need this lens to create beautiful shots like that.

And how much would one of these set someone back for?

Looks like the 20-30K USD range depending on who you special order it from. At that price I would want a custom paint job.

Look at his biceps. Superhuman capability to hold that rocket launcher.

Juza is a God in DPR canon forum. His work is stunning

That lens is multi-functional. It can compress dried insect samples, work as toilet plunger or start a fire through its optical element.

Rocket launcher is a good description of this monster and the price tag is truly stellar
