What a beast.
Factor in the 1.5 multiplier, stick it on the D70, you could probably get a head and shoulders of someone standing on the beach in Fiji.
This is a link to the details

Birddog, you probably have a couple of these, are they any good?

I read further down the thread that the lens case cost $3,900, and I guess that is USD. Somewhere else, $79,000 (also US presumably) was mentioned
You'd need a really big camera bag too.
And let's not even get into the head on your tripod, oh my. Maybe you'd need a quadpod, or a pentapod. Or two of 'em. Or three.

Unfortunately, I can't afford it cos I have to pay for two assistants to help me to carry it around

Added to the price of the lens, you would have to get a golf bag & buggy to cart the thing around with you!!!!!!!!
Not to mention the tripod set up to hold the thing up ?????????????????
My back is stuffed now so it’s no good to me!!!!

I would never have to go anywhere to take photos again, I'd be able to capture anything from right here.

That looks like a police's battering ram to break into someone's door.
