Does anyone know where I can find a quality used 600mm or 800mm canon super-telephoto lenses? I am needing to add some super focal length to my arsenal of lenses. Can you help?
THanks

i don't know about 800mm (ddidn't even know that canon made one..). the 600 however, you can find from time to time on www.fredmiranda.com (external link) for decent prices.

Canon did an FD 800mm, but you can't easily get that on an EOS body. The Sigma 800mm and 300-800mm zoom are well-regarded, but no high-quality lens of this size is going to be cheap. I have an old Tokina 800mm f/8 manual focus, which is pretty good when stopped down a little, but that does make it slow. I got that on eBay for £60, but they normally sell for more than twice that if you find one.

Yes, I think the only auto focus 800mm for EF mount was made by Sigma.

KEH.com, eBay, or many of the photo stores have a used section (B&H, Adorama.)

KEH.com is a good bet for a used lens of that nature. Fair prices and better than fair grading system.
