| This is one of just a few (9) made by Canon. It is a 1200mm f/5.6 With a 2 x extender. Original cost was $90,000 and the wait time after you bought and paid for it was three years. This one was used by Sports Illustrated, who managed to drop and break it. Story here: http://www.pwn3d.us/tag/canon-ef-1200mm-f56l-usm/  |

| Even if I could afford such a thing there is no way I could carry it. Hell, I probably couldn't lift it onto a tripod. :-) |
