to general public - they are translating the focal length into feet, not implying that the lens is that physically long

second, this is weird that this would be custom built for a client. i can imagine the design and manufacturing costs would be laughably high, and it weighs 500+ pounds? Congrats to Zeiss for beating the EF 1200mm, but this thing is a joke. i would love to see a pic though
