This is the only ultra-telephoto lens in the world capable of taking photographs of objects 18 to 32 miles away (30km to 52kms away).

so with a 1.6 crop it would be a 8320mm

WAY overpriced. I'm not joking either. You could equip yourself with much finer optics from the astronomical world for the equivalent cost. Substantially less if you're willing to sacrifice a bit of focal length.
