Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6L For Sale

[infared]

For birders, and creepy stalkers, this is The Ultimate Lens! However, I don't see it in my possession anytime on this side of the grave. Gear like this would also create problems in finding suitable tripods and heads, and you would also need to hire a substantial amount of sherpas to haul it around to the birding locations.

It comes with a golf caddy...it fits in the bag quite nicely. The price includes one year of salary for him.

Just added up all the balance remaining on my MIR cards......
Darn!  A little short. 
Guess I'll just have to continue to crop to get that FOV.

Not sure if my wife would believe a lens could be that expensive, let alone I would consider buying it

I don't know if I could get insurance on it

And how would you travel with the lens - but if you can afford a $150,000 lens you should be able to afford a private jet.  Definitely would not need to fly in coach with this baby

Maybe they will take a trade on a Ferrari? At thirty-six pounds, you might have to do a bit of weight training before you tried hand-holding it.

lensrentals should buy it...

about 20 of these lenses on the planet according

and outside? how many more? 

That's a question for NASA and other space agencies.

Seriously, global demand could rise when commercial space travel becomes a reality.

i still think this fits better to my silver car.

Finally... A long tele that has decent resolution and reach and is hand holdable

[Don Haines]

I wonder if they will "trade even" for my SX-50?

Looking for more of a travel lens.

I wonder how many royals were photographed with this in private locations???

I would say that for those that wasn't owned and used by known agencies, they far more likely had other kinds of targets than royalties...

[Don Haines]

if you really want to go crazy, the Hubble telescope is 57,000mm.....

and there is one in the Canary Islands... 16,500mm at F1.6... Who says you can't get a lens that is both fast and long.....

[elchido]

I'd rather wait for the mk II
