Used 1200mm At B&h

You need a lot of paparazzi photos to pay for that.

Huh! Yeah. Why not? It can go with my other bazooka tubes.

fathers day is coming up. maybe i should get 2? the nice thing about it is, the compact size, its the perfect size to carry on board an airplane. you should wear padding when they tackle you though.

"Built-to-order by Canon from 1993 to 2005, each lens was hand-crafted at the rate of about 2-per-year and a delivery time of about 18 months. Only a dozen-or-so were ever made."

Its a chance to buy some history!

Think of the advantages for bird photography fans:

1. You can now take photos of birds that are not native to your state.
2. You can take photos in different time zones.
3. You save money on airfare.

Dang...shame I shoot Nikon or I'd be writing a check for that one. :) LOL

Rumor had it that the sultAn of Brunei had 2 of them; maybe he got rid of one.

Its hard to get a flash of flesh without one.

I'm amused that BH sees fit to post reviews of it that are clearly from people who have never seen it in the flesh let alone used one.

it would be a great lens to stalk people with. provided you had the time and money. imagine getting a window from across town. the vibration control must be something else in this though.
