They've had one in the past too, but that one was only $90k I believe.

they've had that one on sale for 120K for a while now... the original price new from canon was 90K, I beleive, but they no longer make it and with limited numbers out there... the price has gone up.

It does come with Quan, he's inside of it, focusing the lens for you and giving you photography advice.

Yeah did you see the MTF on that? It's horrible considering the price. You could buy a APO telescope for 1/10th the price and get better optics (although it would not have autofocus).

I saw that lens when I visited during Labor Day weekend. It's in a case near the trade-in section and it's a monster. I'd say its longer than the span of my arms, or at least one. You should go see it if you're in NYC.

Did you know that they won't let you take photos of the conveyors, or anywhere, inside B&H?
