Does anyone remember seeing a photo of a Canon (I believe it was an
"R") telephoto lens, made for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. It looked
like a cannon that might be mounted on a naval ship. If I recall,
it was about 5,700mm focal length. The thing had a pedestal mount
and a chair that rotated with the lens. It coupled to the camera
body by a little bellows.
I used to have a B&W picture that came from some web-site (not
Canon), but I can't find it right now.

I think it was about an f/11 or f/16 catadioptric.
