Quote: Unveiled at Photokina 1970, the lens has a 220° field of view, an aperture range of f/2.8-f/22, and weighs 5.2kg (11.5 lbs). It dwarfs any camera it's attached to, was designed primarily for scientific and industrial applications, and was made to order. With only a few hundred ever produced, it's not really surprising that we've never seen a photo taken by this beast — but we'd love to see what they look like
