Well, I'm sure it's not the largest lens of anyone here!! There are a great many "big time" lens people contributing to this forum.
But my personal largest lens is an Aero-Ektar f6.0 610mm telephoto with m42 mount. It's not close. I have no other lenses even half as large as the Aero-Ektar. The lens is over two feet long and is seven inches in diameter at its widest point. In addition to being on the large side, the Aero-Ektar has a sizable, and heavy, thoriated final element that is quite radioactive. While I enjoy owning the Aero-Ektar, I do so most often from a distance.

BTW -- it's really too small to do a good job on Jupiter. Even my 4000mm f/20 telescope (with 2X powermate) is on the small side for planetary imaging. _________________
