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?
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.
