Insane !!!:yikes:

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

Thanks Jonas,

my next super tele lens test could be Canon 1200mm FL f/11 (but of course not 1200mm EF f/5.6 extremely expensive one that I heard Jim owes).

The lens looks like a donkey's penis.
Impressive yeah!

 

[martinnoweck]

a sniper lens ...

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

I'll try to get Canon 1200mm FL f/11 tomorrow for a test and if it's OK I'll take it.

Stay tuned.

Sanjin,

I cherish your presence here for this kind of very interesting posts...

I wish you hadn't gone into all that pointless banter with MacGregor on the other thread.

Keep up the good work!

How much does this crazy lens cost nowadays? I'm curious.

All best.

Eastco,

they are all very rare lenses,

Carl Zeiss Jena Fernobjektiv 500mm f/8 costs about 500 EURO

and Canon 1200mm FL f/11 (or 160,000 yen in the year 1972 when it was announced)

that is by a coincidence the same price as today about 1.200 EURO but now for used lens!

Very impressive for it's time. The lack of fringing is probally due to the "Petzval" optical design. It's popular still with certain astronomical refractor telescopes.
