mattbuxton Offline Image Upload: Off Canon EF 1200mm? So I was digging around on Canon's site and found this lens here Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever seen it/used it? More importantly how much do you figure it costs? Mar 27, 2008 at 06:26 PM

Happensix Offline Image Upload: Off Canon EF 1200mm? $99K? Not bad, I'll just have to work a summer job... for the next 33 summers.... You see that it has a minimum focusing distance of about 50 feet? yikes Mar 27, 2008 at 06:48 PM

mweddle Online Image Upload: Off Canon EF 1200mm? It also has a FOV of 1 degree. I guess it would be a good candid lens. Mar 27, 2008 at 08:57 PM

bbudman Offline Image Upload: On Canon EF 1200mm? Man, if only Canon would offer a $90k rebate I might consider buying one. Mar 27, 2008 at 09:11 PM

bacilonur Offline Image Upload: Off Canon EF 1200mm? Candid? More like spying. Mar 27, 2008 at 09:15 PM

Nathan Hobbs Online Buy and Sell: On Canon EF 1200mm? So we have the 800mm 5.6 coming to us soon... Do you think they will ever offer this lens at a price us mere photography mortals can afford? maybe add IS and make it weigh 22 pounds instead of 33? Mar 27, 2008 at 09:21 PM

Canon 10D Offline Buy and Sell: On Canon EF 1200mm? I got to use it for a day during the last summer Olympics courtesy of CPS. Can't wait for Beijing Mar 27, 2008 at 10:50 PM

JL-ConcepT Offline Image Upload: Off Canon EF 1200mm? Oh my... imagine 1200mm + 2 * 2x TC + 1.6x FOVCF = 7680mm!!! That's what I call badass Mar 27, 2008 at 11:19 PM

akovacsi Offline Image Upload: Off Canon EF 1200mm? Nice lens, but the size of that thing is just plain pathetic... Mar 27, 2008 at 11:38 PM

I enjoy lusting after this lens every three months!. also Along with the Canon red marketing materials! Mar 28, 2008 at 12:52 AM

pixelman Offline Image Upload: Off Canon EF 1200mm? You'd think Canon models would be dressed with a red tube instead of the red triangle style top. Must be a trade show department oversight in consistent messaging. Mar 28, 2008 at 01:16 AM

rbranan Offline Image Upload: On Canon EF 1200mm? i carry one in the bag, but find little use for it. not sure i would highly recommend getting one. Mar 28, 2008 at 04:45 AM

While I think this post contains some sarcasm, I have to agree with the sentiment. There are only limited uses for this lens. Certainly, it would be a good wildlife lens and it has some use in sports, but the size and the length really limit its usability in most circumstances. As for turning it into a 7680mm with TCs...you would never get it steady enough to produce a decent shot without a permanent mounting of some time and that would be pretty much useless.

At 6% that would be nearly $6000. I guess that means that even with a 90K rebate, I still couldn't afford it Of course, buying it here on FM there is no tax... Mar 28, 2008 at 04:24 PM

Aaron Brown Offline Buy and Sell: On Canon EF 1200mm? No tax if you live out of state, it would be cheaper to fly to another state, rent a vacation home or apartment, and not work for a month and have the lens shipped and insured than to have to pay tax in NY .
