It's a little beyond my nerves (is it real, condition, functional?) ... and a bit above my budget ... also the option of picking it up in South Korea isn't workable, it's a pretty long drive ...

But if you're in the market here it is: Canon EF 1200 f/5.6L on eBay

Jim beat me to it )) In fact, it looks like it might have been a fake - it was apparently removed completely; no record of it as a closed sale.

Tis Gone ...

Strange --- eBay hasn't shown it as canceled (fraud, etc) nor in completed sales (although sometimes a closed listing takes a few hours to post.)

Darn it I've been looking for a backup for my Tamron 150-600 with 2x TC!

When ebay pulls a auction, that's the message you see.

There are various reasons as to why they remove one, fraud, obviously, or violation of ebay terms, or bidders raising a price to a silly level with no intention of buying.

The auction said that he was limited to $5000 sales but hoped to sell it for over $81,000....
Just right there it seemed to be hinting at all sort of planned ebay violations.

A couple people say they have never heard of the famous South Korean bird photographer who the seller claimed to be selling it for (of course who knows about this claim).

Don't feel bad, this showed up near the top of the list of "similar items" that we now see in place of the removed 1200. Works for me.

B+H Had one back in December in their used store...
Its not as monstrous in person as I had imagined. Maybe the 10 years of hoping to see one made my imagination larger than even that lens could be in real life.

I think we need a photographer bingo card. One square that would be on it would be the "Somebody posts a sale on the 1200mm".

Others would be "FF or crop?", "Is there going to be a 7D2?", "Is this a scam?", etc.

Bryan of TDP actually did a review on this lovely specimen a while back.

Weird; I had a dream last night of Photozone's Klaus and Markus reviewing this lens in my presence. So way off-base, I know.

Cool, but I'm waiting for the Nikon 1200-1700 to show up. Just think - 1700mm with a 2x and a 1.4x teleconverter on a crop body would make an f/22 4760mm lens. That'd only cover 1/4 of the moon in the frame. You'd need 2 2x converters for this measly 1200mm prime. :P
