That is probably the craziest Sony review seen lately. Yodobashi tested the [shoplink 33195 ebay]Sony QX1 with a Leitz telyt 560mm lens[/shoplink] mounted on it!
SAR reader “X” who found the review wrote me:
The lens itself is marvelous, with only cylinder shape of qx1 on the other end, the pair never looks like a camera. it is a bazooka. I think you will need to inform the security officer every time you want to use this setup. otherwise some one will think you are pointing bazooka at your subject.
To see a few image samples click over at Yodobashi and scroll down to find the pics.
The Leitz lens sells for over $1,000 on [shoplink 33195 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

Improvements will come. But there are many possible uses for this… module. Although I can’t see the point of strapping it onto a supertele. Can you enlighten me?
if the live view was decently quick you could have the phone midway along lens to the side…. much like the site on a a bazooka, thus weight being over your shoulder more
This made me LOL more than I should have : )
I strapped a QX11 on to an actual bazooka and it looks like a camera. You
see, most blokes will be shooting at 10. You’re on 10, all
the way up, all the way up…Where can you go from there? Nowhere.
What we do, is if we need that extra push over the cliff…Eleven. You need a QX11.
On other news, Roger Cicala has some bad news about out Tamron “it’s going to outresolve 50Mpixels” 15-30/2.8:

Saved you a click: It’s still an OK lens, especially for the price.
craziest… compared to what ?
“Craziest” is superlative, not comparative. In this case, compared to “Sony QX+lens reviews”. Yet.
>I think you will need to inform the security officer every time you want to use this setup. otherwise some one will think you are pointing bazooka at your subject.
There is a solution. You can place lens vertically and use a diagonal mirror. Nah where are the mirrors where we need them.
I would have suggested that, but you beat me to it …
Makes more sense to have a diagonal mirror (and the Cellphone at the top), so you can hold it upright; far easier to balance and it can serve as it’s own monopod.
Good to know sensible people exist
this thing looks awkward lol
