Here's a possibly fun thread. I am ordering over on the BH site and I find some prices for non-camera and lens equipment is pretty outrageouss (not BH's fault--just pricing by mfr).

Find some outrageous prices and post them here. Let's leave cameras and lenses off, unless you find something you can't resist posting.

B+W 127 mm Kaeseman Circular Polarizer Slim Glass Filter
B&H# BWKCPS127
Our Price: $ 795.00

BTW - Langdon, thanks for the new button, but the forum link buttons are now completely broken (at least for firefox).

This would be nice to have, but just a bit overpriced in my opinion.

Lots of telescopes, for what that is worth. Google raised a bunch of 'em...

Yup - 5 inches is a fairly common telescope aperture. - Although I'm not entirely sure why you'd want to put a polarizer on one, unless you're using it for birdspotting of course.

most lenses have a rear drop in filter instead, so the chance of you having to buy that thing for a camera is pretty slim unless you're into astrophotography :-)
