Ok here's one for the would-be Canonophiles :D......

A rare 1200mm f/5.6 L USM white 17kg behemoth and it only SOLD for $US 580,000 or ~ $A 782,000 at auction... (https://petapixel.com/2021/10/11/canon-1200mm-f-5-6-sells-for-580000-most-ever-for-a-lens/)

Too much CA :P

Yes ... I didn't mention that (in the fine print). It was a test to see who noticed. Good on you Lewis.:thumbsup:

Although in fairness to Canon, I'd like to know how small an area that crop (with CA) was enlarged from. And then out of plain old curiosity compare it to a top end say >=150mm aperture scope on the same target.
