I think and was probably a foot or more long.  Because of its weight and unwieldy size, it had a pistol grip at the center and a cable release from the grip to fire the camera.  Mounting it all up was quite the endeavor and wasn't the sort of lens you wanted to use very often. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />]  Times sure have changed.</blockquote>
