I wish... $12,000 will unhook me quickly! I did see a used one, from the same company I rented this from, for sale for "only" $5600.

Since you haven't broke down and bought that 800 yet as far as I know here is your chance to up the game

Canon EF 1200 F 5.6



As I read it there are about 12 of these made and the last one sold for 110,000 used from B&H

Lol... Actually I am buying one this weekend! A friend of mine is buying the new 400 and I am buying his used one.

Canon 400mm F2.8 L IS with a 1.4x Teleconverter. I already own the 2x.

That is cool. Can't wait to see what other kinds of detail shots you can get with that!

Yes, but this one is older. This is the original. Lens Rentals always has new stuff.
