There is a shop that has a lens that makes the Sigma one that featured on this very site look positively weedy!
It is a Canon 1200mm, F5.6 USM lens. They’ve been around since 1993, but are made to order at the rate of about 2 a year – There is less than 20 out in the wild!
The world’s largest interchangeable SLR AF lens, in terms of both focal length and maximum aperture. Two large fluorite elements eliminate secondary spectrum, resulting in extremely sharp, high-quality images. With Extender EF 1.4x or 2x. a whopping focal length of 1700mm f/8 or 2400mm f/11 can be obtained respectively.
The price? Well run along and snap one up at $99,000 secondhand!
You got the cash (and the muscles) go here – B&H
Or buy new here – but have £70,000 ready but that does include vat.
