The Canon 5200mm f/14 doesn't count because it's an FD lens and can't be used anymore.
I still win.

You only win if you've owned it
The longest non-Cassegrain type prime lens I've owned is a 1000mm Pentax SMC Takumar I got from Ebay a while back. Unfortunately I only owned it for a day because it came with a cracked element.
Returned and refunded...

And if you are going to go with a Cassegrain you might as well get a Schmidt-Cass telescope for one it will be lighter and it costs less per inch of aperture than what the manufactures would sell theirs for. For example an 11 inch f/10 is at 2800mm for $2600. With that you can get a field flattener and focal reducer that will make it an f/6. The only drawback is weight with its tripod at 91 lbs. but you could adapt it to sit on a standard tripod, then it only weighs around 40 lbs.
