The Crazy Zoom of a 1700mm Nikon Lens




Check out Nikon’s 1200-1700mm f/5.6-8P lens

Nikon launched a prototype of the lens in 1990 for newspaper photographers covering baseball in Japan. The sample photos above show the lens’ ridiculous reach. A standard 50mm FoV can be seen on the left, while the right photo shows what the same scene looks like at 1700mm.
