I know lens prices are going up, but this is too much...

<p>And you thought the price of the 32/2.0 was high...</p>

<div></div>

<p>I'd probably have to spring for one of the 3 used ones. I left my wheelbarrow of benjamins in Vegas...</p>

<p>Zimbabwe dollars? If so it's a bargain.</p>

<p>No big deal, just another price increase from Canon. And the worst part is, the lens hood isn't included!</p>

<p>Canon raised the price in anticipation of the new rebates.</p>

<p>I have have to sell one...</p>

<p>I wasn't planning to sell mine, but I'd part with it for half that price. Please email me if interested!<br /> Heck, I'd throw in a lens hood for FREE!</p>

<p>What? That's insane! No free shipping? What a rip off. -Pete</p>

<p>A great lens. If I only had the money....</p>

<p>you'd think for that price the aperture would at least be a constant f3.5. cb :-)</p>

<p>That's nothing. B&H's <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/800622963-USE/Canon_2527A001_Super_Telephoto_1200mm_f_5_6L.html">1200/5.6L</a> is $160,000,000.00 at these levels.</p>

<p>If you apply for the Amazon gift card, which brings the total down to $999,970, it becomes a rather good deal.</p>

<p>I'd jump on it if it shipped free. Better get it before prices go up. Prices are likely to go up again as the economy recovers.</p>

<p>Shipping is $99.95. At first I thought the price was a typo, but when you consider what they want for shipping I think they must be serious. If that thing sells at that price I'll be putting my gear up for sale.</p>

<p>The results I get from my 10-22 often make me feel like a million bucks. Luckily, I got mine before Canon started charging appropriately.</p>

<p>Too funny. You're all a bunch of comedians! Thanks for the laughs, guys (and gal). ;-)</p>

<p>Wait, wait! You've gotta do the Dr. Evil, "we will hold your lens ransom for ... ONE MILLION DOLLARS!"</p>

<p>Gotta say, this makes the Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 look like the bargain of the century!</p>

<p>LOL they're offering me a deal with the lens+hood+filter: Price For All Three: $1,000,058.45</p>

<p>Well if an EFS lens is too much Upgrade! Canon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-5D-Digital-Camera-24-105mm/dp/B000NPIP1I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&m=A6U7LGCOJZZG2&s=electronics&qid=1244514201&sr=1-2">5D Mark 1</a> plus the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-70-200mm-Lens-Digital-Cameras/dp/B000I1X3W8/ref=sr_1_29?ie=UTF8&m=A6U7LGCOJZZG2&s=electronics&qid=1244514315&sr=1-29">70-200mm F4 IS</a> $2,000,000. And if you want a cable release, $1,000,000. Should I have checked on the 5D MkII?</p>

<p>I just remembered I happen to have eight of those 1200mm f/5.6 lenses lying around.... I can trade them all for a 10-22!</p>

<p>Considering I am just about to buy one, I must say I am scared !<br>

The 10-22mm has never been known as a cheap lens, but THIS is insane.<br>

Hope this is a mistake.</p>

<p>Good thing I bought mine today, before the price hike.<br>

I do have one question, though: Is this before or after the rebate?</p>

Hmmm... add another half a mill and you get it with IS :) Whoever said lenses were the bigger investment has been suitably vindicated! ;-)

<p>I bought three of them....I'll sell them when the price goes up and make a good profit. heheheh</p>
