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. -- "I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know." -Samuel Clemens. |

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. -- Ken Hart |

I doubt what you have is: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...mm_f_5_6L.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/find/n...l-L-Lenses.jsp 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. -- Ken Hart |
