Congratulations!!!!!


My 400 is due to be delivered next Tuesday.

Man that is pretty!

[AtTheWall]

The 400 arrived today. Mounted on the 50D to check range with the crop.

No IS but I can hand hold it OK for shots.

Test shots around sunset and hand held at 800 ISO. The range is incredible!

Thanks Steven, yeh will have to get use to the white.

Black spray paint would cure that white issue!

[AtTheWall]

Bill....you felt it, the urge was strong...maybe those early years had influence?

Oh it can go dark - in a big way!



Trending white and shooting blue with a hint of pink!

If you really need to reach out....




The Canon 1200/5.6L USM (priced at $120,000... and if you live out of state we don't need to charge you tax!) has been built on a special-order basis since 1993, and the ‘official word’ is there are "more than twelve, less than twenty" of them in existence. With a price tag equivalent to a pair of his-and-her sports coupes, they were produced at the rate of about 2-per-year and a delivery time of about 18 months. National Geographic magazine, Sports Illustrated, Canon Professional Services, and a few well-heeled enthusiasts are counted among the fortunate few who own these unique optics. A box of donuts says the Feds probably have a few squirreled away somewhere, but this is something we can neither confirm nor deny. What you get for your money is a monster lens with an angle of view of about 2° on a full-frame 35 mm camera. By the way you can add the extender!

[Chad C]

I have lens envy!

Congratulations Bill! Looking forward to the pictures.
