Unfortunately we shoot Nikon and don't want to switch at this time, but thought one of you Canon shooters out there may want to take advantage of this deal:

I'd probably buy one, but it doesn't have an A-S replacement foot.

Last time B&H had one a few years ago, the price was $90k, if I remember it right.
Either way, those are the asking prices.

I think B&H just includes this in their marketing budget. Probably a good draw for people to come and see the thing if you are in NY. I do wonder what the selling prices actually are.

A few years ago they were going for under $100K.

... Had one for awhile, but the police would show up every time I used it and they threatened me with a weapons charge ... so I had to give it up ...

Still, I am glad I am a Nikon shooter, as I think the Nikon version may be a better deal if I find one for sale

Check this out. http://bit.ly/16pPf1t

Canon EF/FD 5200mm F14 Prime Lens. The world's largest dedicated SLR Super Telephoto lens.
Extremely rare. Made in Japan.

From a Canon Flyer:

"This is the only ultra-telephoto lens in the world capable of taking photographs of objects 18 to 32 miles away (30km to 52kms away). Having a focal length of 5200mm, Canon Mirror Lens 5200mm can obtain one hundred times as large an object image as that of a 50mm lens."

"For focusing this mounted or fixed lens on an extremely distant object, two aiming telescopes are set on the side of the lens barrel, and the entire lens is placed on a rigid stand which rotates smoothly. Minimizing the overall length had been a big problem in designing this lens. However, the Catadioptric system that is applied to the other two Canon mirror lenses (Canon 800mm f3.8 & 2000mm f11) has succeeded in reducing it down to one third of the nominal focal length. In general focal length and optical aberration increase with each other, however, our long and persistent research and development have succeeded in solving this problem. Canon mirror lens 5200mm composed of spherical main and secondary mirrors and a correction lens would assure you of clear images."

Oh, it's a mirror lens - I was going to get it, but I couldn't live with the awful bokeh!

Does it really matter? Do you hate seeing people enjoy themselves?
