Or a pair of 4000mm lenses (L4639), mount them in a tube, symmetrically about a central stop, and have a periskop (symmetrical doublet lens).
Making the huge bellows would be an interesting challenge, wouldn't it? I'm pretty certain that the exposure time would be minutes, not fractions of a second, so a shutter could be a lens cap.
