All that for a cool €2,997

:naughty:
 
Not one of the best Canon have ever made
 
Why was it not good out of interest?

Cool to see one though - thanks macmike! It's kind of like seeing a Dodo...
 
I bought one for £800 a few months ago. Does not compare with the 85mm f1.2. Vignetting really bad on my 5D. Opened up it is fine, so decided against keeping and moved it on.
 
Oh yeah and finances meant I had to let the 5D go too :-(
 
I'm sure they will do - it's just a matter of time.

<dreaming> They'll invent some kind of special glass that allows for f/1.0 - even f/0.75 without any vignetting or chromatic stuff :D. Oh and entry-level DSLRs will have ISO 12800 with barely noticeable noise. Course, one battery charge will give you 10,000 shots. And CF cards holding a Terabyte will be two a penny. </dreaming>

By that time, we'll all have telepathic powers and thus be able to transfer and store images amongst ourselves which are perfect, unblemished depictions of reality -- no need for glass.

Edit: Oh, I guess that means all our memories will be 50mm.

And bang goes the art of photography :gag:
 
Nice glass, despite what everyone says, I'd love to play with one...

Another f/1.0 isn't likely for a while... if i remember correctly, they used lead glass in that one for the higher refractive index and better light gathering. f/1.2 is as fast as it gets these days of kyosei.
