The Leica is the most expensive lens. With a 1600mm focal range and the ability to shoot at f/2 the lens explains is price tag. For the size of the lens it weighs surprisingly little, weighing in at 60kg.

I have not found any info on that F5.6 lens that is able to shoot at F2.0 so I think he is a BS artist. BTW I bet the Zeiss 1700mm F4.0 cost al least twice as much.

I'm thinking maybe I should order two of the Leica lenses and try shooting some stereo photos.

My next coffee table will look nice on 4 Leica legs.

I have the Leica, it works great on my Pentax Q.

Still not pocketable.

I don't understand why Pentax cannot make a 1600mm F2.0 that fits in my pocket.

He posted a photo of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM :
