TV Lens Week…Post 1: The Amazingly High Cost Of Lenses!
At the link under this text, you’ll see the retail price for Canon’s Digi Super lenses from B&H in New York. Prices range from a low of about $75,000 to over $153,000 for Canon’s top of the line HD box lenses. I’m pretty sure the lenses are available from Canon at a lower price, but as you know, most manufacturers don’t post their prices lists. The zoom and focus demands on page 2 are around $3,800 each! More to come!
B&H is normally a very competitive price source for “normal” Photo Gear. I would not be surprised if those prices are as good as you get from Canon, unless you are perhaps equipping an entire station or Sports Truck.
