What a lens

Well, for all the Pentax lovers out there, I happened across proof that not all the hacks use Canon and Nikon. I was just by chance watching the special features DVD for The Fifth Element which had a section that covered the arrival of Bruce Willis at the Cannes festival premier of the film (we're talking 1997 here) and for the flash of a second there was this rather large Pentax lens in the picture.

Amazingly, looking at the guys grip on the lens tripod mount, I actually believe the intrepid photographer here is hand holding the beast! Covering the entire entry event with a lens like that ... man, that photographer is going to have sore arms in the morning. Given the year concerned, that must be a film body on the end of it, but ... there but for the grace of a lottery win, go I.
