Canon 5200mm F14 lens!?

Yes, I said 5200mm! Is this for real?

What tha?

??????

Yep. It was an old FD mount lens. Pretty sweet, no?

Yes, yes it is. Too bad it's not in my budget for next year!

Make sure you get a good monopod...

Sad. They've been trying to sell that thing forever now.

I see it is FF. Kinda sad to use the lens on a FF body and lose the gain of a 1.6x crop.

You could digiscope it with a compact, for more reach!

Thats been on eBay for a while now.

Put it on the new 5D at ISO3200 and you'd have a nice Nose-Bleed Lens for the NFL.

It's rather be a telescope or sniper scope for me.
Imagine you're on a 95th floor hotel room, next to a stadium with this and a camera, you can enjoy the game for free and have pictures that people ever dream of. But spending $55k for that? No

the lens is both priceless and worthless at the same time.

Interesting comment, but very true.

its a must have for your camera bag

and if you buy with mastercard you can save 15% which is a small sum of... about 8000 THOUSAND DOLLARS.

but if you got the lens, and it was a lemon, does that mean even if paypal gave you the full $20,000 you would still be 35,000 out of pocket?

.....I wonder how much a tripod that would hold this would be...
