Just got an email from B&H. The new Canon 400mm and 600mm lenses are available for pre-order.
The 400 is only $11,999, and the 600 is only $12,999. Quick, where's my wallet?
My HX400V was only $450, and it delivers 1,200mm (e) before getting to digital zoom.
Yeah, I know: bigger sensors and all that, but for me, "reach is reach."
So I propose (only partially tongue in cheek), a new metric: bucks per millimeter.
The Canon 400, $29.99 per millimeter.
The Canon 600, $21.66 per millimeter.
The HX400V: $2.66 per millimeter.
Cheers, Jock
