I did a seach and did not see this posted...

I'm so glad they have some shots from it...

For the person who thinks they have all Canon's L glass.

I search for the url in part and in whole also the name of the story. Sometimes the most direct search is the best.

This has been floating around for a few weeks. First time I saw it I had about the same reaction. If Bill Gates decided to get into photography, perhaps they would have a buyer. I would sure like to see some pictures taken with it.

Wow, this has been posted AT LEAST 50 times, haha....
But yeah, I want it... Actually not a bad price, only a few are in existence, nobody knows where some of them are (National geographic, and sports illustrated each own one)
So $99k for the only one of these lenses, most likely to ever be for sell, I'd say it's worth it if you can afford it
