Canon has got some gigantic oysters! RF telephotos…
2

In looking at the RF lenses, and specifically the supertelephotos, I couldn’t help but notice that the 600mm f/4 is $13,000, and the 1200mm f/8 is $20,000.

The 1200mm is essentially the 600mm with the $600 2x extender on it. Yet, they’ve set the price for the 1200mm at $7,000 more than the 600mm.
Am I missing something here, or is this one absolutely brazen attempt at fleecing customers who don’t know their left from right?
