Bigfoot is Mike's CV Apo-Lanthar 125/2.5. The name came from it's elusiveness. 
It took him months of pretty intensive 
effort to finally find one in OM mount in the wild and bring it home, with help 
from the list (Jeff? and ?) and a 
distributor in Japan willing to go the extra couple of kilometers.

This and the next three images in this gallery were taken at Mike's with 
Bigfoot.

Here's another sort of Bigfoot.

He hasn't named it's big bro, the 180/4, 'Yeti', as far as I know, perhaps as 
it was less intensely pursued and found 
more easily.
