| Comments | Very, very expensive (probably over $150,000 by now). Available only on special order and you may be waiting for at least a year if you do order one. Probably less than 100 of these lenses exist. Very specialized lens probably mainly used for military, industrial and scientific applications, plus a few special sports and news applications (e.g. the Olympics).
If you really, really want one, B&H may still have one for sale. It's used but in excellent condition and for $120,000 it's yours! |
