I photographer friend sent me a video about a 1200mm camera lens. It looked like a mini bazooka, the case was carried by two persons. They compared it to a 50mm and a 400mm lens. I could stand on a mountain with my arms raised and you could count the hairs on my arm pits (eh, strike that image) from the valley below.
As a young man I had an idea of an imaginary super hero Fotoman who could snap your picture with an Instamatic and beat you by folding, spindling and mutilating the paper photo. His arch nemesis was a crazed copy machine technician. You've seen him xeroxing his behind to send smell-o-grams to business execs.
Fotoman gets the upgrade with digital cams, tablet and drones. If he can get a clear shot, he can alter your image on the fly and delete you if necessary. And don't let him get the green screen drop on ya, LOL! Have to get him a cool helmet with heads-up display and hologram projector. Fotoman uses common technology but is really a home-brewed quantum scientist having had several deep flash encounters of the 4th dimensional kind. He gets flashbacks that seem so real and wears makeup and disguises in public to prevent his real face from being photographed.
