Astronomers (even amateurs) routinely use optics with greater than a
seven foot focal length.  Not only do they use digital cameras, some
of them even stoop to webcams (lunar and planetary images that rival
images from professional astronomers just a few years ago).

Of course it's hard to take Palomar or one of the Kecks on location.
