For that much moolah I better be able to see the man in the moon like he's standing next to me.
By the way with that lens you can.

Is that all it is?
Anyone can easily get one - just get the bank to pay for it...

Yeah, I say that too. "My firm needs this lens for about 6 months for the stake out we are doing . . . "

did anyone watch the demo video? talk about an uncomfortable veiwing. the guy snapping virtually identical photos of the same subject for no other reason than to show off the fps of the body. neat lens, but really it serves no purpose for just about everyone.

It's all here
LensCoat, Inc. even publicizes the making of their LensCoat product for the Canon 1200/5.6 right here:
The making of a LensCoat for the Canon Ef 1200mm f5.6 L USM Lens on Vimeo
This will give you a better idea of the physical size of the lens. Interesting how it went up from the previous price of $90K-ish the last time one was available. This Vimeo video is also embedded on LensCoat's website.
Cheers,
Marc

Better save upfront for insurance, a helper to carry it and a bodyguard for shooting session.
