Do you mean 'how big' or how heavy?

As a teacher of science.... perhaps I should state we should be estimating its mass..... As for units, avoid the S.I. units (Kg's are the work of the Devil) pounds and ounces would suffice as I have a dislike for the metric system applied to the stuff of magic like my body mass or fish!!!

To be fair...... I even 'weigh' my fish........

To be fair, I wouldn't do that.... I always adopt the same pose as much as is humanly possible for all trophy shots......

The knees are there purely for the sake of proportionality:D:D:D:D

A lot depends on the focal length of the camera.
The massive fingers would suggest a wide angle lens has been used.
So my guess is no more than 8lbs.

Approximately 7mm diagonally across with a little red cross in the middle. The price I pay for being in work.;)

Photo taken at 18mm with a Nikon D60 (1.5x FOV crop sensor) which in 35mm terms translates to a 27mm focal length-that means a wide angle lens!
Taking into account how close the camera was hold to the subject/s (the massive fingers:eek:mg: are a clear give-away as noted above) I would guestimate 7.5lb...
P.s. nice knees:)

Yeah youre right - im going back to my original estimate of 7.12. A 70mm lens gives a "normal" angle of view if i remember correctly. A 28mm lens is very wide-angle.
