updated cost of all Canon lens

So there I was bored...

I decided to update the cost to buy all current Canon lenses. using BH prices - USA warranty.

The total (not counting 1200mm (estimated at 90,000), but including extenders and tubes since they are on the lens list from Canon) is:
US $66,367
The .95 on everything was rounded up, so you can probably knock about $3 off given there are 66 lenses on the list. Also, I did not include rebates and import prices; which would further save you money. And adding to your cost would be shipping and handling. I also have a sneaking suspicion that if I ordered them all at one time I could also reduce costs.

Now if I win the lottery soon, it would run me $57,497+1200mm to get the remaining lens set (minus EF-s ($1540 for all 3) which would not work on any of my current 3 cameras). And I still have $4425 left on my intend to buy list. One note though I also have 28-70L which has been replaced by the 24-70L and based on everything I see no reason to replace, but if getting everything I would get, so it is on the total left list.

just thought I would share the results of my boredom.

Now imagine You live in Denmark and want to buy the same stuff. It would then cost You somewhere around $160.000

Hm. Something to ponder. I think if I won the lottery, I'd only get the L lenses though.

Jokeingly I say that if you deleted the non "L" lenses from the list it would only save you 50 cents.

Seriously, The cost for all non-L lenses is a pitance compared to getting all the "L" lenses, I think you can get them all for less then the cost of the 600mm

And then I because I would have nothing better to do I could actually run tests just to see for myself how much difference there is between lenses.

Now would I really do that, maybe... depends on what mood I was at the time.

$66,000.00

Is that all I spent of lenses?

I thought it was more...

Must be the Moderator's kickback kicking in.

Plus, if you buy the entire family of lenses all at once, they will probably give you a $30 rebate certificate, or something.

Oh, be still, my heart!

well if you hadn't secretly bought the 1200mm it would be.

Nah... steven's right,. it was all those oddball Sigma telephotos as well...

//really does dream of a Sigma 300-800mm with at least as much regularity as the Canon 600mm....

I'd stop dreaming about the 300-800 after buying this list....


I'm still surprised that it's only $66,000. I have to talk to the wife...
