That's not a lens. That's a cannon.

LOL, what prompted me to find this originally was because I just started watching BBC1's The Planet Earth on BluRay, and the shooting done from their 'copter was at least 40x. I wanted to see what I might expect to use on the street to get that sort of zoom.

Well the lens in the picture is only a 2.5X zoom,

Eh, it's an ok lens. Could be more waterproof.

I calculated 28x based on 35mm with the included multiplier, but I could have done the math wrong... In any case that's where I stopped because the lens in the picture costs almost 30k$.
