No.  See below (and perhaps put it through babelfish etc).

It is a miniature model of EF 600mm F4 IS USM & EOS-1Ds Mark II, offered as
a prize for some sort of questionnaire (or contest).  These are made
commemorating the 30 millionth EF lens.  Body & lens are attached by magnet.

Hilarious thing about this is the asterisked note in red.

" This is not a working model.  Lens cannot be used as a telescope.  No
spark or flash effect from the tip of the lens".
