Canon 1000mm lens?

Here's the YouTube vid of the 1200mm f5.6:

The carrying case for the lens looks like an old case that was used for carrying the Stanly Cup

Was it this? Looks to me like a 400mm f/2.8 with both 2.0 and 1.4 extenders, perhaps. 1120mm?

Its actually a 400mm f/4 DO. (As you said with 2 extenders.)

As far as i know, canon has never made a 1000mm lens.
With FD mount the longest was a 800mm f/5.6.
With EF mount the longest is the 1200mm f/5.6, and the 800mm f/5.6
As seen here:

There is of course the Canon 5200 mm f/14, but THAT monster waaay exeeds our budgets...

Just googled it:

Doesn't look like an EF mount either :P

He has a website and contact information...why doesn't somebody just ask him?

I want the big one.

My guess is 500mm with 2x and 1.4x.
