    Is there a Sigma or Tamron version? Does it have USM on the bellows? I like the minimum object distance of 120 meters.

    Hey, I just checked. At $55K, this lens is only half the price of the 1200mm f5.6

    There is one for sale now. But Dude, it is an even $250,000.00 not 55K.

    I forgot to mention the lens is in China and I do not remember what the shipping is, but I don't think that Brown is going to deliver this one. Keep in mind I think that there were only 5 or 6 ever made.

    Hell, forget it. I don't see that it's "L" glass. What's the point?

    It is the supreme example of L glass. Look at the color of the lens body?

    That thing on the back is a camera. The ring is too small to be seen on this lens.
