Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6 L USM Lens Review

[EdN]

If it's built like the back end of a 1 ton 4x4, I think that's what you need to pack this baby around. I haven't got the 4x4 but I'd sure like to take some shots with it. Amazing lens!

Amazing...I never expected to see an even slightly negative review of this lens. I am in awe of your ability to remain objective in the presence of such gear.


(The helicopter shot is probably a no-go if you're going for prop blur...you want to get an entire rotation of the top rotor while the shutter is open...1/100 might even be too fast. That's why plane spotters love IS lenses even though we shoot in good light...)
