Thanks for the data on the optical quality of the Pentax 1,000mm F8 lens. Would anyone know what one would one go for in mint condition with case? RW
Remember that there is a big wooden tripod that comes with the lens. It is better to get both at the same time or you will need a very sturdy tripod to fix the lens.
The dedicated wooden tripod is made to receive the 1000mm lens' "tripod mount". I don't know what would be needed to use such a lens with another tripod.
The tripod sometimes comes with its canvas and leather bag, but this is not an important piece to acquire. And, of course, the proper metal case for the lens is a must, although I guess you could make or adapt one.
