1200 f 5.6 B&H is selling a used Canon Super Telephoto 1200mm lens for $99,000. As for image quality, even wide open it's quite lovely. Stopped down to f/8 and f/11 it's actually quite remarkable. How remarkable? From midtown Manhattan we were able to read the street signs on the corner of JFK Boulevard East and 43rd St. in Weehawkin New Jersey when viewing image files at pixel resolution. Oh, did I mention that's about 2 miles away? What you get for your money is a monster lens with an angle of view of about 2 degrees on a full-frame 35 mm camera. The lens weighs 36 pounds and there are more than 12 and less than 20 of them in existence.
