samples shots with a 5d


In all seriousness, if those are indeed sample shots with a 1200/5.6, the vignetting is less than impressive. Hard to judge sharpness without 100% crops though.

Future, nah. Past, yes. My C5+ celestron is about equal to 1200 (f11 though). Now you can collect enough light with it to see some pretty far galaxies, ie look back into the past...

Oh yes. Use this with the 2x converter on a 1.6 crop:

1200 x 2 x 1.6 = 3840!!

f/11.2?

You could probably see into the future with that combo... :-)

Somebody here needs this.

If Fred and Scott will give us a 1 time pass on lotteries. Everyone could put in 100 bux, someone could pick the winner and be handed 75,000 to buy that puppy.

The last time I saw a retail price on a 1200mm was $110,000. It was probably 3 years ago. This lens is definately selling for $75,000.or 63,675 Euros

I'm not sure retail stores sell the 1200 because its special order and mostly owned by large sports organizations.

I'll take one at that price. I'd save a fortune in air fares - I wouldn't have to travel anywhere if I stacked my converters on that baby.

Those would be some mighty fancy rear lens caps

Well, we're up to 72 posts, if we each put up a $1000 we could each own a 1/72 share. That's like 5-days a year...

My wife thinks the 70-200 IS is too much $ for a lens. If I show her this, I might be able to have the IS before Xmas!

I just bought a 100-400 and I am looking for two 2X teleconverters. Thats a 400-1600 zoom with IS. I'm laughing all the way to the bank.

Let's see here if 12 people went in on the lens each one could have it for 4 weeks each and I would get it the remaining 4 weeks of the year for coming up with the idea
Hey that is only $6,250 each ... that is just about doable.
The sad thing here is that I am only half kidding here .. a time share lens not altogether a far fetched idea.

I own this lens. It's amazing. This is an actual picture of my eye taken from 10 miles away.

I also have a lovely mountain cabin for sale in Riyadh if you're interested.
