The Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6L lens is a professional EF lens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF_lens_mount) made by Canon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Inc.) that was introduced in 1993 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993), six years after the launch of EOS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS) cameras, and discontinued in 2005. The initial price for this lens was US$89,579. It weighs more than 36 pounds (16 kg), comes with its own heavy-duty tripod (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripod) and case, and is built only by request. The focal length can be increased to 1700mm f/8 or 2400mm f/11 using the Canon EF Extenders 1.4× and 2× respectively. There are reportedly only ten of the EF 1200mm lenses in existence. Sports Illustrated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_Illustrated) magazine owns two of them, as does Canon Professional Services (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canon_Professional_Services&action=edit) and James Jannard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Jannard), the billionaire founder of Oakley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakley).

Wonder how long you had to wait once you put your order in - and pity the man who has to pay for their servicing. :(
Must be a bugger to get spares for :p
I wonder if Jessops stock the filters? :lol:

Pah, i'll stick to my ef-s ;)
strewth those are a lot of canons. what i'd give for one of those 1d's and a 500 f4, and that coming from a nikonian!
surely it's time for someone to bring out the traditional nikkor 1200-1700 zoom picture ;)
All you'd need to do is sit behind them with some jamming equipment and they probably have heart failure!
:D

I mean, really. Just stand closer to the action!!!!
I'll say, my goodness! :lol:

Whats the aperture on that 1200-1700? That must be able to pick out someones nosehair. Judging by the fact that guy as no monopod...is he planning on handholding!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!???
Yeah - he "handholds" while another guy behind him uses the camera!
It's an F/5.6-8, is very rare (only a few about) and is MF, not AF.

Do Jessops stock anything apart from lens cleaner?
All these shots of puny gear do nothing to impress me :shake:
