Carlos, I have tried one, it is very big and I thought impractical because
of its size. The lens is very long at 30 inches. I opted for the Ziess 500mm
f5.6 lens; 12 inches long; with a 2x Tele Converter. Also I have a 750mm f7
Century Tele-Athenar lens which is very light and I found it very practical
in the field taking photos of air planes flying acrobatics At the Reno air
show. It was originally designed for 35m/m super slides therefore there is
some vignette at the corners.

The item 370389546314 in eBay is pretty impressive for some reasons,
price is one of them. The Tele Tessar f8/1000mm is a dream to take
birds and wild animals photographs (4.5º angle of view), it weighs
8.740 kg (19.26 pounds), anyway is lighter than the Mirotar 5.6/1000
with 16.500 kg (36.37 pounds), this kind of lenses appear rarely, even
in eBay. This version is for the Rolleiflex SL66, it has two big
elements at the front and two smaller elements in the rear of the lens
barrel. BTW it has a tripod socket and the lens mount holds the camera
when the tripod is used. It would be nice to try one.
