B&H Photo has this lens on sale right now for $180,000. This is the longest fixed telephoto lens that Canon has ever made. I’m going to get my hands on this monster one of these days and take it for a test drive. You better have an armored car to drive it around though.

A B&H Photo rep quoted Canon in saying that it took a year to grow the lenses and crystal inside of this lens. The CIA bought one and Sports Illustrated also made the dive

Just know that Uncle Sam is keeping his eye on you, and probably using this lens to watch you take a shower.
