Piece of Junk. Doesn't even have Image Stabalization.

No kidding... I want to be able to hand hold this sucker.

But how does it compare to the massive firepower brought by the Sigma 200-500mm APO EX DG?

I acquired an expensive camera so I can hang out in forums, annoy wedding photographers during formals and look down on P&S users... all the while telling people it's the photographer, not the camera.

No, the fat old uncle who can't get out of bed anymore (5200 is FD mount and requires a truck to move).

At least the adaption to EF mount should be no problem with a thinner adapter like Ed Mikas FD-EF adapter.

I'm waiting for version II of the EF 1200mm f/5.6L lens. Maybe that one will have I.S. and be a tad lighter.

It's long enough they should just include a fold down monopod....

Audi's are made from the same plastic as any other car they just polish it, gimme the lens anyday

Ha! Of course a München guy would say that. Let me guess, you like BMW?

Think new Canon lenses are overpriced? Lots (and lots) of data will set you free!

serious question
why would you want this lens compared to a rather nice 14inch telescope for only the small price of 5k?

And my serious answer is...

As previously stated, if I were to buy this lens, it would mean i have a couple ferraris and a Lambo and a mansion.... i don't use a telescope and 5K would be nothing to me lol... other then that, I would never actually buy it... i just like the idea of a lens that powerful for a camera
