Canon 1200/5.6L USM the BFG of Telephoto Lenses
The 1000mm Sigma we saw at PMA is nothing compared to this ultra rare Canon zoom. The retailer B&H photo has one of these, a 1200mm, F5.6 USM lens. They've been around since 1993, but are made to order at the rate of 2 per year, and there are less than 20 in existence. What the hell does 1200mm give you on a 35mm camera? A 2 percent field of vision. The cost? $99,000.00...USED. Shot of the zoom vs a standard 50mm lens, post jump. UPDATE: We've found bigger and badder 300X zoom and 5200mm lenses. [B&H, thanks to everyone who sent this in.] More »

If you think your cellphone camera shots look crappy now, wait until you try holding this still. Good luck. It's $19. Product page [Brando]

Telephoto Lens For Your Phone
Falling into a tiny, sub-niche section of the market that I can't even begin to describe without the very real fear that my eyeballs might be blown out of their sockets by every individual brain cell in my head saying "what??" simultaneously, are these ridiculous conversion lenses made for MOBILE PHONE cameras.
