Used: $99,000


<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF_1200mm_lens>

MSRP US$ $89,579

This lens comes with its own heavy-duty tripod and case, and is built
only by request.

Few of these lenses exist; Sports Illustrated magazine owns two of
them, as does Canon Professional Services and James Jannard, the
billionaire founder of Oakley.

A bit of the big side: <http://www.pbase.com/image/67748045>

I like the recommended $5.95 cleaning kit.

Also, from the Features tab:

"Apart from a few minor cosmetic blemishes, this particular lens is
extremely clean inside and out. Included with this lens is a leather
slip-on 'lens cap', a fitted aluminum trunk case, and a prodigious
measure of ego satisfaction. Weighing in at over 36lbs and an overall
length of 33 inches, a sturdy tripod and pan/tilt head is highly
recommended. Pack mule not included. "

You'd think they could at least include a mail-in rebate for the mule.
