Damn, is this the 1200mm Canon 5.6 ? Then this guy is a lucky one. I sure would be proud if I could get in 14 meters from it, then I would be to close for it to get me in focus.

That's a lens only Arnold (The Governator) could handle...

Can you use it reversed for macro purposes ? Need a step down ring. LOL

I'm sure he only bought it to save money on airfare. Stay in Japan, shoot events in Australia. It's brilliant!

Check this thread out, scroll down to Eddyg's post for a link to a guy that attached one to his XL1 camcorder. The 7.2X crop factor turned the 1200mm into an 8640mm lens!

I would guess that being in the Canon Museum, and seeing that the camera has a cable attached to it and the lens, I would say this is a diplay model. This way you can at least see the lens and look through it.

I don't think thats a 1200...

I've got a 1200 for my Nikon and its only about 2 feet long. That thing looks to be like 4 feet long!
