It’s sometimes hard to fathom spending $12,000 on a <a href="https://bhpho.to/2sFebSS">Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II</a> or $45,000 on a <a href="https://bhpho.to/2EQtddb">Canon CN-E Canon CN-E 30-300mm T2.95-3.7</a>, but Canon’s broadcast lenses are a whole different animal. Take the $222,000 <a href="https://bhpho.to/2obCvai">Canon UHD Digisuper 86</a> for example (please buy one from my link, because that would be cool).</p>
<p><a href="https://www.popsci.com/olympic-camera-lenses-broadcast">Popular Science</a> has posted a great article about some of these lenses that can cost well over $200,000. To be fair, there’s not for the general consumer, but NBC apparently have 70 of them in use at the 2018 winter Olympics.</p>
<p>These lenses are manufactured to the strictest tolerances for obvious reasons.</p>
<blockquote><p>Lens elements are typically ground down from rough glass blanks, and then polished—sometimes by hand—to get rid of imperfections. “We spend a lot more time polishing 4K lenses because imperfections that measure just a nanometer can affect performance,” <a href="https://www.popsci.com/olympic-camera-lenses-broadcast">Read the full article at Popular Science</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Canon really does have the full spectrum of lenses available for whatever is required.</p>
