Video of the Year: Hands on with the Canon EF 1200 f/5.6L Lens

Good friends Juan Pons, now of DPExperience, Scott Elowitz of LensCoat and I arranged the shoot of this video early in the year, even before we launched Outdoor Photo Gear.  We kept it under wraps for a few months while OPG was under construction.  We launched our blog with it, and over 24,000 people have viewed it!

A lot has happened since we shot this video.  Juan has launched DPExperience with our pal Rick Sammon (and me as the "gear guru") and Scott has introduced many new LensCoat products.

Outdoor Photo Gear has had a banner year, beyond all of our expectations.  We're still at work–more products and more website features are on the way!

Thanks to all of you, and we wish you a fabulous 2010!

    Man and I wanted an 800mm lense, now you have me wishing for something that can probably never be.

    Well produced video that shows the capabilities of the 1200mm lens very well. I wonder how many of these lenses are sold each year and who are the clientele?

    It seems like a very functional and manageable lens despite its fantasy sounding 1200mm length.

    How much does a proper tripod and mount for it cost as well??

    Great video! I wish I could try that lens, and I’m a Nikon shooter.
