  • Canon Super Telephoto Lens, if you got the money

    Quite shocking, but this might be a something for the serious dot spotters:
    Canon Super Telephoto 1200mm f/5.6L EF USM Autofocus Lens

    Buy Used: $120,000.00

    Interested? Here is the advertisement: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...mm_f_5_6L.html

    Luckily I have a Nikon D300, so I will not be tempted to buy this lens

    cheers, Pamela

    I hope for 120000, they include 4 people to hold it while you are taking shots .

        Seems like this gets 'found' by someone at least once a year....... It's been around for a while...... the shock value of posting it wore off a long time ago...

                  Nope, just the lens, but the difference to a lens cap is minimal in this comparison.

                  Once a year, this lens comes out in a forum, as mentioned above, but I like it every time I see it

                    If you cannot handle the price of admission for the Can0n 1200 f/5.6 you can always get this one

                    Pre-PMA 2008: As part of Sigma's bumper lens launch, it has announced what might be the ultimate wildlife lens. Sigma claims the APO 200-500 f.2.8 is the world's first lens to offer an f/2.8 aperture at 500mm focal length. It comes with an "attachment" to give users a handy 400-1000mm f/5.6 option. The lens (which is cosmetically reminiscent of a piece of military hardware) weighs nearly 16kg and uses a dedicated Li-ion battery to provide power for focusing and zooming. It will be available in Sigma, Canon and Nikon mounts.




                    for about 20% of the price and get the flexibility of a zoom. Still would not want to hand hold it.

                        I can just hear the know-nothing passers by .....

                        "Officer...OFFICER, there's someone over there with a missile launcher, why aren't you doing anything about it ?"

                        "Madam, that's not a missile launcher, that's a Canon"

                        "A CANNON ! Good God man, that's even worse. Go and arrest them RIGHT NOW"
                        If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !
