On the plus side, carrying a lens like that would assure you of all the finest attention at any airport you visited. “Please step this way, sir, and talk to these nice men in suits…”

that and a couple of rod tubes and your trip is toast…

I would not under any circumstances bring that anywhere near an airport. I can imagine the reception some guy wanting to take pics of planes or an airshow and having that (or the 500 2.8) mounted in the back of a jeep would get.
I know a guy who found himself flanked by cops early in the moring because he was in camo, in a field trying to get deer and using a 400 mounted on a Bushhawk. He told the cops its was a camera and he was still quite literally told to put it down and step away.
Not a comfortable situation to be in Im thinking.
How aproapos.
I guess I need to get some Velcro patches sewn into the netting on my ghillie suit and other camo items… that I can rip down and expose in large yellow letters…. PHOTOGRAPHER DON’T SHOOT.
Don’t want some LEO “counter sniper” taking me out because I’m lying prone with a large “scope” and a tripod…
So, what I am looking for is a lens that will allow me to look through through the camera, snap the pic and end up with an image like: My backside looking through the camera taking the picture. 😉
I’ll have to talk with the folks and Manfrotto, on this one, but I feel confident that they will void my warranty as, unreasonable care
