Default Huge Zeiss telephoto 1700mm f4 for MF!

Carl Zeiss Camera and Cine Lenses

21X magnification on MF... Alas, this is one monster compared to the modular telephoto system that Leica builds...

Interesting, but is the 1-ton cement block needed to stabilize it included in the price?

So at f/4, this 1700mm focal length refractor would have an aperture of 425mm, or around 16.5".....or am I missing something?

Interesting timing. Carl Zeiss striving for a moment in the sun before Leica's explosive news tomorrow obscures the sky entirely!

Maybe the Zeiss managed to shoot their pic of the M8 before we got a chance to see it today?
