A telephoto lens is one thing but when we were looking through B&H video we came across this monster of a lens. The Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM.

It turns out less than 20 were made and you can shoot a street sign from over 2 miles away. The downside is of course that you need atleast two people to mount it on the tripod.
