The Cannon from Canon

Got $99,000 bucks lying around? If yes...it can be yours.



1200mm, f5.6L and at around 36 lbs....the longest and most expensive telephoto ever made. The rare lens was built to order by Canon from 1993 to 2005 — and only at a rate of about two a year. Even though this one is slightly used, it's still going to cost you about the same as two Land Rovers haha. And good luck trying to find a tripod that will hold up this beast

Actually Bogen made a custom CF reinforced setup exclusively for this lens.

Interested?
