Question: What is the most you have ever spent on a lens!?

$5,500!.00 about 3 years ago!. It was a Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM and a telextender!. I was shooting the Mavericks surfing competition and had the lens sold at a discount before I bought it with the client paying the difference between what I bought it for and what I it sold for!. I would have rented it, or a longer lens, but there wasn't a rental one available and you only get a 24 hour notice that Mavericks is on!.

Worked out for everyone!. I kept the telextender!.

Approximately a hundred USD!. There was shipping involved with that, too!. It was a 28mm Fujinon EBC with metal barrel!. As for my other lens and two cameras, they were all free!. I don't know if I'll be buying anything else in the near future, but when I do, I won't be spending all that much comparatively, because my cameras take old lenses, as you can see!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The most I've spent for a lens was $600 even!. It was for a used 17-35mm Nikkor!. It works wonderfully!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have a lens that retails for $3000, but I bought it for $1600!. I like to bargain shop!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
