Don't sweat it over the cost of the 400 f/2.8isII. This one checks out at over $2 million.

Of course, it's a Leica...

It doesn't hold a candle in price to the camera lenses used on military spy satellites, or on the Curiosity Martain rover.  I doubt if its  in 100th place.

Hillsilly:
Hubble would have to be near the top of the list, too.  At $2.5b to construct, then all of the maintenane and the big upgrade a couple of years ago, I think it has cost almost $7b.  But it does get some spectacular shots.

Mt Spokane Photography:
If you count telescopes and microscopes, its down to about #10,000.

If I had that lens I could stay between the football stadium and soccer field and shoot both games from the same location :) :)
