Its been on a here quite a few times, but dont let that put you off buying it.

The 2nd linky is really interestign

[mattyh]

thats crazy :eek:

Imagine buying a UV filter for that :D

[EOS_JD]

thats crazy :eek:

Imagine buying a UV filter for that :D

These super telephoto lenses take drop in filters which fit at the rear of the lens - (48mm I think)

[mattyh]

it was a joke ;)

A UV filter at the back wouldn't protect the front element (which is set plenty far back for it not to actually need one)

[gpc1]

lol...imagine taking it out on your first shoot and dropping it.....:gag:

[dolomitefan]

I think they usually come with protective glass on the front anyway. Just think you can stick a 2x converter on as well a photograph the moon full frame!

[ElCapone]

has anybody bought of that site b4?

[Jonnyreb]

amazing resolution - but you'd expect that from a lens that costs as much France!

[madmitch]

Mmmm they take Paypal :naughty:

[NathanJT]

WOW! I do hope that money that I'm expecting from my Nigerian contact comes through soon. As soon as it does I'll buy this :D

[Helium_Junkie]

hehe :D
As much as I'd love a lens like that, you'd have to be stupid rich!

[marky_h]

Maybe Stewart could buy it for Lensesforhire? ;)

[Mr.Orb]

I'd buy it if I win the euro millions on friday.

[mattyh]

I'd buy it if I win the euro millions on friday.

If you do win, it'll only be half cos i've got a winning ticket here :rules: ;)

[Mr.Orb]

If you do win, it'll only be half cos i've got a winning ticket here :rules: ;)

I don't have a ticket :( ...cos i bought one online ;)

[Eric Mc]

costs as much France!

More useful too:lol:

[IanC_UK]

Hmm wheres the Company AMEX ;)

[foodpoison]

I want one, just so I can look at things a mile away! :D

[GSXRMovistar]

Was tempted to buy one but then I realised I wouldn't be able to fit it in my Slingshot 100 so passed. :p

[foodpoison]

I was tempted to buy one, but then realised I couldn't afford it. :(

[Fullfast]

Buying from B& H, yes I have and have been impressed, it did help that I had an office in New York and got it all sent there and my wife picked it up for me when she went out there before Christmas.......quality and prices are very good and the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful.....To give you an idea on pricing....I want to get hold of the battery grip for my d80.....over here cheapest I have found for the Nikon one is 130 GBP ....there 134 USD (75 GBP)....

[Joe T]

Im not sure they ship to the UK....

[dizzy]

I'd be happy to take delivery of it here in the states if someone wants to get it. I could then give it to them next time I'm back in the UK. Honest...

[Fullfast]

They do ship to the UK, I checked that this morning, the costs aren't too bad either....

[specialman]

They do ship to the UK, I checked that this morning, the costs aren't too bad either....

... what, on top of thefifty grand price tag? :)

Saw this lens at Focus at the NEC back when I was at uni in 1998 and it was a beast

[spannerdude]

That's just a toy! :razz:

And with Zeiss being in bed with Sony these days, I'm expecting it to be available in A-mount any day now. :lol:

Might be reasonably priced too if they can keep the sony badge off it. :p

[TomWilko]

That Canon lens is just amazing, the cropped shots in particular were mind blowing.

[Amp34]

Im not sure they ship to the UK....

Well if they didn't i'm sure the buyer could be persuaded to go over personally to pick it up.:lol:

And that'll be me next week, when the cheque clears... I wish..:(

[inaneredstripe]

$99,ooo?

[Alistair]

Actually, if you think about it, at the USD to GBP exchange rate, this isn't such a bad price! LOL

[kmlc]

i think if my life insurance might cover that??!?!

[StewartR]

Maybe Stewart could buy it for Lensesforhire? ;)Ha ha. We thought of that! (http://www.LENSESFORHIRE.co.uk/canon-ef-1200mm-f56-l-usm-3-p.asp) Though I'm not convinced how much demand for it there would be, at around £2,500 per week?

[gibbo]

I was just about to tick the box PAY and I realised its a Bl***y Canon Fit

[Sheep]

Err guys its used too, not even NEW for that price wonder how it handles with a 2xtc fitted!
