B&H have what is believed to be one of twenty in the world Canon 1200/5.6 used in stock. Lucky it is used as the price is now only $99,000!

Glen,

you have too much time on your hands :lol:

I enjoyed this from the description:

Need something longer? A Canon Extender EF 1.4x boosts the beast up to a 1680/8, and the Canon Extender EF 2x will get you to a 2400/11. For what it's worth, if you couple this lens to a Rebel XTi or EOS 40D you end up with the 35mm-equivalent of 1920/5.6, a 2688/8 with a 1.4x extender, and a 3840/11 with a 2x extender. If you need to focus any tighter to your subject you'll have to hop a plane and fly there.


And operators are standing by to take the order :shock: :shock:

Bragging rights? Just like those Vegas casinos that pay millions for pieces of toast that look like religous icons. :?

Besides, B&H is the sort of place that may just be able to offload it to a willing buyer. It's out of my budget though.

Well not long ago in China, my parents have told me that families have gone broke by drinking tea. :shock:

If that was 99000 used, how much would that MF 1400-1700 Nikkor cost?

I have seen one type of white leaf tea that retails for $1,000/kg. Not even Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee sells for that much, nor a magnum of Grange (depending on vintage, of course).

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Actually, I think the article says there are two - one with the SMH, and a second with Canon Oz.

General impression is that it's not a really great piece of glass: difficult use, and its image is easily affected by heat haze. Which makes a lot of sense.

You mean where he says they're too expensive even for the SMH so they hire one when they really, really need it?
