PC Fastlane: Most Expensive Camera Lenses Ever
September 29, 2008
This list is awesome, but it leaves out the most expensive and largest camera lens I’ve seen, the Canon 5200mm f/14 lens, which is currently for sale on eBay…
From PC Fastlane:
- Price: $11,999.00
- Product Page
- Weight: 10 lbs
Expect to sell a few organs to afford this thing. Price at almost $12,000, the Canon EF 800mm is designed for the pros among us. It will be released in May 2008, it is meant for long-range photography like sports, wildlife, and nature. Don’t expect to use this thing without a tripod by the way. At over 10 pounds, it probably weighs more than your camera. Thankfully, Amazon has graceously included free shipping with the item.

Gizmodo: North Korean Arcades Are Incredibly Sad
September 29, 2008
Another post to add to my DPRK fascination pile…
From Gizmodo:
I’ve seen some crappy arcades in my day, mostly tucked into some crummy corner of whatever cheap hotel my mom had stashed us at, populated with well-worn Galaga and Street Fighter II machines. They had a certain kind of charm, though, and still do, considering the fact that the arcade is an endangered species in the US. Then there’s this arcade in North Korea, which is almost as bad as the old Soviet ones.
