Aw shucks. I was looking for the f2.8 version. Oh well.

 

[orchjoe]

At least it includes the carrying case

 

[YEKCIM]

C'mon, Jeff; I'm sure you can get a Canon-to-Nikon mount adapter!

The item condition is only a 9. That's why it's so cheap. I'm holding out for a 10. I think the extra money will be worth it.

I saw this on the dpreview forums earlier today! What a lens, but come on $99,000.00, that's one spicy meatball! I think that price might be a typo, its supposed to say $999,000.00

Did you read the features tab? Its 36lbs and it says "Pack mule not included".

I think I'll wait for the IS version. I hear its much more hand holdable.

If you buy that, there goes all of the Disney vacations!

If you buy that, there goes all of the Disney vacations!

But, if I buy that, I can probably see Disney from my rooftop here in Massachusetts!

Here is another interesting site talking about the lens:

Also, if you want to read about even longer lenses (and a Nikon one to boot), here is a story about Nikon's infamous 1200-1700mm f/5.6 lens.
