    I used to own this exact same lens. It was superb. Unfortunately I had to sell it in 2012 due to loss of job and having to pay rent and bills. I was just a hobbyist photographer back then. My lens was purchased by someone in England who went on to use it in the press pool at the London olympics. At least someone was using it for something other than ducks and hummingbirds like I was.

      And it's likely still in use to this day, and will continue to be used for decades more.
      Sorry you hit hard times. That must have been difficult to let go of a prized lens like that.

      I also had 500/4 IS, but I sold it due to illnes I had. Now I would like to have 500/4 II or 600/4 II. But those lenses are hard to find used, and they are pretty expensive.

    This is final assembly, a relatively simple task, technically speaking. Consider all the designing, manufacturing and testing that goes into each of the numerous individual parts. You can't believe how much effort goes into creating the glass elements. The fluorite is something special that takes a very long time to get to the final stage. I know it takes Canon a full year to grow the fluorite for their 1200mm lens. It's a large single crystal. They earn their money.

    This is not a lens the worker puts at 3:25 but a rubber safety ring which helps connect a lens with the next one. I own the 500mm f/4 and can surely "testify" that it is an optic masterpiece! Regards from Greece.

    Good pro lenses are amazing. My old used Nikkor 400mm 3.5, 180 2.8 and my Hasselblad 180 and 100 are the four best I’ve ever used. I don’t use Canon, but I’m sure this above lens is spectacular also.

  • @sclogse1
    @sclogse1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I had the 600 plus a new version of the 2x magnifier. Fun getting the right tripod gear and head for it, but to travel with it, you need to have a table to do set up. (You kept the lens in a big metal case) So I just filmed out the back window to the east bay, and also filmed the moon rising, and added it to live concert audio of Tom Waits from the 70's. It's on youtube. Eventually I made a film noir with the body, 5D Mark II. One pixel dies, good luck with video.

  • @Stop4MotionMakr
    @Stop4MotionMakr 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    No, low dispersion is UD, officially stands for Ultra-low Dispersion and is used to indicate specific elements in Canon lenses (doens't have to be L lens) that has low dispersion characteristics. The "L" officially stands for luxury.

  • @chungdha

    There is only one though in the workers mind: Do not sneeze, otherwise the lens is fucked! , I though they would have mask on to block spit to become stain inside the camera.

      The whole time the lady was assembling the lens, I cannot help but to worry if an eye lash hair falls into the lens and only to be discovered later.

    If Canon goes through all this to make a lens, I can't imagine how much work goes into a Nikkor lens.

  • @bred2k6
    @bred2k6 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Employees in the Japanese manufcaturing sector are typically paid more than US employees in that sector. So based on wages alone a $6k lens made in Japan would be $4.161k if made in the US. Of course wages are not the only factor, there are raw materials, etc. However, it is probably fair to say that if Canon made its lenses in the USA that they could be produced for less cost. I hear that Canon have been looking at outsourcing recently so maybe lower prices could be on the cards.

    • @ronnietjikoeri9965
      @ronnietjikoeri9965 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      netsurfer912 cheap lenses have a much cheaper process to make them
      the glass is not as good and the focusing motor is louder
      and they are not built like the L lenses that can survive water and dust where other lenses have little gaps where dust can come in
      my sigma died after 4 years and all my dads canon L stuff still works

    • @netsurfer10000
      @netsurfer10000 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @stevecoatesdotnet
      @stevecoatesdotnet 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The liquid is part of the image stabiliser in the XL2. I'm guessing the stabilisers in the SLR lenses have different designs. I can safely say the stabiliser in my XL1 is a lot more steady than the ones in my EF lenses.

  • @deanerhar

    So this is why it costs as much as Hubble... always wondered why these lenses cost an arm and a lung. This stuff is like space tech! Still impressed how the Belgians created wold class optical glass hundreds of years ago. Glass is a marvel of human scientific ingenuity.

    @Vermiliontea 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have a 400mm. Old. For the old Canon FD system (before EOS). Beatiful glass. Somehow photography lost its magic for me, with digital photography. I enjoyed the quality time with chemical magic in the darkroom. Choosing different films, different developers. Different papers,.. Aah, Kodak Kodabromide,.. Ilford Galerie,.. Oriental Seagull,.. Ilford Cibachrome... Those were the days. Not entirely gone yet, but seems so pointless besides the computer and printer.

    • @swistedfilms
      @swistedfilms 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I sometimes adapt old FD lenses to my Canon EOS digital cameras. It provides a look that you simply can't get any other way. I've got a 135MM f/3.5 that has incredible bokeh that I've not seen with any other lens.

    don't forget that in the free market, if your competitor is charging x amount then you now have the ABILITY to charge up to that amount, it's big business.
    yes. R&D, as well as all the machines developed to specifically design the hardware would cost x amount to make. however these machines are not specific to the hardware, rather than a wide range of hardware. thus lowering the cost.
    There are people out there that would claim sigma/tameron make better lenses than canon. that gets subjective
