Start Saving As A Rare Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM Lens Is Going Up For Auction: EF 1200mm f/5.6 L USM

As you've probably not managed to get away on holiday for a while or spent too much of your earnings on going out, you might want to consider purchasing a rare Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM lens that's going up for auction in October. The slight catch is you'll probably need over $100,000 to secure it.

According to Canon Rumors, Wetzlar Camera Auctions will have a Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM on their 9 October 2021 auction schedule and even though we don't currently know what the starting bid will be, other Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM lenses have sold for well above the $100,000 mark.

Allegedly, only 20 Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM lenses were ever made, the lens weighs 16.5Kg and has a minimum focusing distance of 14-meters. So few lenses were built as the annual production volume was just two lenses. This was because it took a year to create the massive fluorite crystals.

You can find more information about the lens going up for auction on the Wetzlar Camera Auctions Facebook page.

If you have a little less cash to spend and don't need a super-telephoto lens that's quite as long, have a look at our 'best superzoom' or 'top telephoto zoom' recommendations.
