This is one of the rarest and most expensive lenses in the world.
Fewer than 300 of these have ever been made. It’s definitely a collectors piece. It’s what’s called a catadioptric lens. It has a light path that is just like a telescope. The aperture is fixed so it can only only shoot at f11.
I just caught wind of this on an article I was reading over at Popular Photography. The current “Buy It Now” price is $32, 777. Do you think I should ask my wife if I can have it for Christmas?
Honestly I’d be lucky if she let me get a new 70-200.
