"$99,000 for the 1200mm Canon used"

I have three 1200mm Canon lenses for my 500+ Canon FX cameras, and the
most I paid for any one was about $3000. About 10% of that was shipping
and US Customs fees.

bull****.

Although if you do have an authoritative valuation of $99K for the lens,
that would be great, It would more than double the value of my
collection.

canon, and it won't.

"Bull****"?
I'm not the one hiding behind a fake email address. You have sufficient
information to find me on Facebook and read about my Canon FX collection:
500+ camera bodies and 800+ lenses; one or more of every lens that Canon


nospam is referring to the Canon 1200mm f/5.6 of which there are less
than 20 in the world and most are leased to qualified lessors. The
purchase price was about $115,000 last time I looked.

If you have one, I'd be quite surprised.


don't forget he said he had not one, but *three* of them.


I suspect he's referring to something else. Either that or I want Hart
to adopt me.

it's definitely something else, assuming it's even true.

i also find his claim of owning 500 cameras and 800 lenses to be a bit
much.

he can settle this by taking a photo of the three lenses (and the rest
of the stuff while he's at it) with a piece of paper that has today's
date and something referencing this thread to prove it's not faked.
include closeups of the lens labeling too, then post a link to the
photos.

i don't care what he does and i doubt he'll take that challenge, but he
can if he really does have it.

You forgot to mention that a US currency bill should be attached to each
item in the collection with the bill's serial number clearly visible to
prove that each item is unique. And then there's the notarized statements
from three different notaries public. Or you could just go to my page on
Facebook; there are photos of my studios, darkrooms, modeling sessions, and
stories about my Canon FX camera collection.

I'm just glad I didn't mention the two all-black Canon FX's in my
collection. Only five are known to exist and one of those is suspect- where
the paint is worn, the metal showing is chrome rather than brass.

You're absolutely correct. The three 1200mm Canon lenses that I own are for
my Canon FX cameras (as I originally stated); that is they have the FL
mount. They are part of Canon's "convertible" series, consisting of a
focusing and aperature unit, on which was attached a head-end section,
making either a 400mm, 600mm, 800mm, or 1200mm lens. I have the whole
series, plus one or more of all of the Canon FL-mount lenses that were made
back in the late 1960's.

By the way, it is a working collection: I use each camera and lens in turn.

I did pick up on that, but got distracted by Rich's mention of the /5.6.

the facebook page i found had a stock picture of what might have been a
1200mm lens (too hard to read). i found the exact same photo on another
site. not convincing in the least.
