Comet Catcher/Astrograph

Hi all,
for sale a huge zoom lens from a giant Projector.
The lens weighs 8 kg and was (I believe) taken from either a Panasonic or Olympus projector. It zooms from 70 to 180mm at f/ratios of 0.7 to 1.5. The lens weighs approximately 8Kg and will make a nice comet catcher and/or very quick astrograph. Could also be ideal for an observatory/fixed location.
It comes with a custom made mounting bracket and manual focussing gear at the back, and double dovetail (on top of one another, and it can be taken off) for both a Vixen and/or Losmandy mounts, had not the time to finish this project,
Asking price is $900 O.N.O.
Lens is in Mount Gambier, South Australia.

Cheers!
Andrea
