Reuters has two of the Canon 1200mm. They also have the 1200-1700mm f5.6 IF-ED Nikon zoom modified to fit Canon http://blogs.reuters.com/blog/2007/07/18/unleashing-the-beast Mar 29, 2008 at 12:22 AM

Whoa! That 5200mm lens is ridiculous... I wonder what was going through the Canon engineers' mind when building that other than: "Hey let's make the biggest lens ever." I see that they're mirror lenses like telescopes. So they're probably for astro photography? Mar 29, 2008 at 06:35 AM

Nathan Hobbs Offline Buy and Sell: On Canon EF 1200mm? I would love to pull up to a row of wildlife photographers at yellowstone pull a tarp off the bed of a truck and aim that 5400mm at my target. As they attach doublers to the 600's grumble about only being able to take macro shots of the animal at this distance Mar 29, 2008 at 06:46 AM

Get used to it around here, people take their bad moods out on others. Also there are A LOT of whingers. Why would you even read a thread if you were sick of it. I dont read the "70-200 2.8 v 20-200 4" threads anymore because they happen all the time but you dont see me on there bitching about their existence Mar 29, 2008 at 09:39 AM

EOS20 Offline Image Upload: Off Canon EF 1200mm? If you look on that mir site I posted, There is a Canon 5200 f/14 for sale for only $23,000 USD!! What a bargain compared to the $99,000 USD asking price for the 1200 f/5.6! Shame it weighs 100kg though! Heres the pic the shop took of the lens thats on the site: Mar 29, 2008 at 05:21 PM

I see that they're mirror lenses like telescopes. So they're probably for astro photography? I dont know just how good the canon would be for astrophotography, but when you get into incredibly serious optics you'd pay easily that much if not more for the kind of setup the best of the best use. Then add in another $15,000 for a suitable mount, $10-15,000 for the CCD camera, few thousand more for the computer and software, and well it gets expensive really quick. http://www.rcopticalsystems.com/ Mar 29, 2008 at 05:48 PM
