Sorry but I find that hard to believe. AFAIK it's just not possible

YOu must write to Zeiss and tell them, immediately.

I find it annoying that we continue to refer to 35mm equivilant when
describing focal length. Many users will have never owned a 35mm camera in
the past. I think we should use "Angle of view" as a universal description.
well we had better stop referring to horse power, since no one owns
horses for doing work with.

...it is however nice that my DSLR with a 400mm strapped on the front
behaves like a 600mm used to on the old film camera..

About the same power as a pair of binoculars.

Now if only the air would keep still.

I took some pics the other day using a 400mm lens on a DSLR just
holding the camera in my hands. I was amazed that the pictures were
not a complete blurry mess. However next time I must remember to take
a tripod.
