Looks good for safari, maybe a bit small for birding though

Get a high MP camera and slap a 2x extender on that bad boy and you should be able to get some decent photos.

And still someone using this photographs bigfoot super grainy.

ACKTCHULLY if it was 4000mm @ f/0.3 the lens would have a diameter over 12 meters. This looks to be about f/4.0

There was a Zeiss lens back in the 1980's that had a special offer. If you bought one you got a free Volkswagen Fox.

But, for real though. Is this a because they could thing, or is there actually a use for this big of a lens? (I mean, it says Sony, so I assume it’s not telescope optics)
