| I understood it to be that the webcam was mounted on the side of the extender, allowing for a live stream in addition to the up close picture being taken.

− | It depends on how tall Randall actually is, but using an average of 1.7 m for humans, that camera is about 32 feet, 4 inches long (it's about 5.8 times the length of Cueball). [[User:OldCorps|OldCorps]] ([[User talk:OldCorps|talk]]) 17:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

− | :Your comment makes me cringe. Apparently you measure people in metric but camera lengths (not focal length!) in imperial. So here you have it: 9,85m camera length! [[Special:Contributions/141.101.76.226|141.101.76.226]] 20:11, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

− | ::Fair point, I'll simplify the equation. Cueball is 0.00845063 furlongs tall, the camera is 0.048984751 furlongs long. [[User:OldCorps|OldCorps]] ([[User talk:OldCorps|talk]]) 11:33, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

− | :It is common practice in Germany and many other places in Europe, which can along with the difference between imperial and metric units and the naming of 10^9 (billion in English, Milliarde In German, while Billionen in German is 10^12) lead to a lot of confusion when workign with texts of unknown origin, or with translations of unknown quality. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 12:33, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

− | ;Incorrect definition of telephoto
| |
− | | |
− | A telephoto lens is actually a lens of which the physical length is shorter than the nominal focal length. For instance, I have a 90mm Leica lens that is about 67mm long; this is accomplished through the optical design. A ''long-focus'' or '' long '' lens is a lens with a comparatively long focal length: on 35mm cameras, this is generally any lens 85mm and up. They are sometimes called portrait lenses. A ''zoom'' lens is one with a variable focal length, e.g., 70mm – 140mm. It is not necessarily a long lens.

− | The distinction is especially important to large format photographers, and the conflation of the terms is common among lay speakers.
| |
− | | |
− | Randall has conflated a telephoto lens with a long lens, as does the current explanation.

− | | |
− | See http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Telephoto#Long-focus_.28Telephoto.29 for on the topic.

− | :It would be nice if you could enhance the explanation by this matter. I'm not an expert on photography but I believe Randall is just talking about a ''telephoto'' which is often also called ''telephoto lens''. And his ''telephoto'' even doesn't need a single lens. Randall hasn't conflated anything, it's the explanation. I.e. instead of "100 foot lens" it should be "100 foot telephoto without lenses", and similar to other sentences.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 19:01, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

− | I am sure something like the contraption here will be a Long and Telephoto lens... like a telescope, yes you can get a lot of zoom under 200 mm lens length but then if you could do that they wouldn't have long telescopes.[[User:Needforsuv|Needforsuv]] ([[User talk:Needforsuv|talk]]) 13:27, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

− | Could this also be a reference to all those phone camera attachment advertised online. I don't know if there's any truth to their claims (somehow I doubt it), but if anyone knows better, please chime in.{{unsigned ip|162.158.6.94}}
