If you think that the Sigma APO 200-500mm f/2.8 EX DG i posted here early last month is a very big lens… then I don’t know how you would describe the ZEISS Apo Sonnar T* lens. This lens was actually shown at the Photokina show last year. I must have forgotten that I wasn’t actually able to post an entry about this last year.

The ZEISS Apo Sonnar T* 4/1700 was developed by Carl Zeiss for a very rich customer from the Middle East with very high demands and a special interest in long distance wildlife photography.
