I was looking at lenses (Mrs @ work) and came across this ripper.

'Bout 1/2 way down there's a calc (http://www.photo.net/making-photographs/lens). that help's you decide on what lens you need.

Apparently i need a 770mm one. http://www.dirtbikeworld.net/forum/images/smilies/banghead.gif

Only 770mm? I'm after about a 2400mm:D

Maybe a couple of extenders...or ten.
