20. Hands on with the Canon EF 1200 f5.6L Lens
2 years ago
Hands on review of the Canon EF 1200mm f5.6L Lens for OutdoorPhotoGear.com.
This is one big lens, with a BIG price to match. The lens weighs in at 36.4 lbs, and measures 32.9 inches!
The price you ask? A measly $120,000. No typo there, yes, one hundred and twenty thousand dollars!
Where can you buy this most excellent piece of glass? The used equipment department at B&H Photo Video, where else?
This specific unit is rumored to have arrived at B&H from "some government agency."
Visit wildnaturephoto.com for more wildlife and nature photography review, tips and advice.
All footage shot with a Canon 5D MarkII, and Canon EF 24-105 f4 L, Canon EF 17-40 f4 L and Canon EF 70-200 f4 L lenses.

Apparently to check out the range of this monster, they went to the roof of a building in midtown Manhattan and shot across the river at a construction site in Jersey. I shit you not the guy said they took full face portraits of construction workers! Unreal.
In regards to taking the lens to a roof in midtown manhattan, you may be referring to the test that Bryan Carnathan at The Digital Picture did. You can read about it here:
