Oho!! A beasley $11,999.95! (Thank God it wasn't $12,000, which would be over
my limit.) I'd rush right out and buy one, but alas, I have no Nikon bodies
whereon to use the same.

i thought you saving for the canon 1200mm f/5.6.

it's a real lens, with only a handful ever having been made.

Few of these lenses exist; Canon has never released production
figures, but it is almost certain that fewer than 100 were made, and
it has been rumored that the actual number is closer to 20.

If you buy 2, you get a free roll of film.

They're no longer made - but they are available for rent. When they
were new they were on the order of $120,000

Moving on....

This one was made for 1 customer in the Middle East
