Where did these come from? I was always told that they are somewhat rare. I don't think I would have much use for one either. I sure would love to have one sitting around to sell for more gear though!

In my opinion it is the best looking lens Canon ever designed. It just looks fiendish. And the front element is almost too beautiful for words.

When a less then great lens starts selling for $4,500, you will see a lot of them. -Jeremy

K6AZ Cream of the Crop  More info | Feb 01, 2012 00:52 | #9 I've shot one a few times. The mystique around these is pretty much due to the fact that they were discontinued some time ago and there isn't many around but they can always be found for sale. Bottom line is they really don't offer any kind of IQ that is better than the 50/1.2 and that small fraction of a stop in that range (f/1) makes it a very tricky lens to shoot.
