Logically, the higher the focal the narrower the angle.
So... no.

I was wondering when this weeks 'OMG look what B&H has!! $120000 Lens!! OMG' thread would show up.

I got mine for 99K for KEH. It was in 'Ugly' condition but I only wanted it to give all other photogs lens envy, so I don't care if the glass isn't perfect.

I hear at photokina they are going to release an EF-S 700-1450 f4-5.6 so I am kinda waiting on that one for my XS. It has a plastic mount and tripod ring, but it should be cool.

First time I've ever heard of this lens! ;)

Sorry OP, we're just ribbing you because there has been tons of posts on this lens before. No big deal though...

I'm on my third copy. The first one was soft wide open, and the second one back focused. Shipping can be a drag. ;)
