| I had that lens but it seemed a bit soft on the edges so I sent it back and got the 100-400 instead. |

The nice thing about that lens is that it also launches a stinger missile, geesh that things looks like a rocket launcher. |

Here is an image of the moon taken out my bedroom window in less than five minutes from arriving home, setting up the camera and snapping the shot. It was taken with my 1,000mm catadioptric lens using a 2x teleconverter on my Nikon D1x. So, the effective magnification was 3,000mm.

It's built into the lens. :) If you look at the photo in the BH link, the front element is actually about where the red L stripe is.
