EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Lens with Internal 1.4x Extender $11,799.00
high-performance super-telephoto zoom lens with a built-in 1.4x extender that converts the focal range and maximum aperture to 280-560mm f/5.6. The extender is located at the base of the lens and applied with a simple lever switch.
Case extra $700! Lets just round up and say the whole thing will cost, $12,500 delivered. 8)

I soooooo want one, but it would need to come with its own porter. (The person, not the beer.)
-
$11k?!!! Hahaha! Maybe if I win the lottery ;D
-
My current car isn't worth that much.

£11,995 in the UK. Didn't realise the exchange rate is now 1:1. Rip off Britain. Should be about £7900.
I can't afford either price anyway :-[

The Mega Millions is up there and the Power Ball is supposed to be above 600 million Saturday!
And I agree, only if I win the lottery would I get one of these.

$11k is ridiculous

f4 is not good for that price.
For bird photographers... I suggest you buy a 30$ ghillie suit instead.
And I mean it.

Except you'd have the police after you all the time thinking you were poaching.

But they wont find you if you are in a ghillie suit, and you can lie there and photograph them while thy search the forest floor around you.
A good photo oppertunity.

plus these for night time in the woods will make it very difficult to catch you-

A friend of mine just bought the Nikon similar but somewhat cheaper, I guess the built in 1.4x Still one amazing lens. Heavy.

Why don't they call it a 280-560mm f/5.6? You can't shoot it at 200mm or f4.

You can. It's a 200-400 f/4. And you can use it as such. Or you can switch in the 1.4 converter, making it into a 280-560mm f/5.6.
And it is amazingly sharp and has an awesome IS.
Really tempting...

The thing that impresses me the most is the $700 case.

i wonder, is wildlife photography so lucrative ? i know nothing about it but if the lenses are so expensive the photos will have to be priced accordingly ?

For me it's not profitable, it's an (expensive) hobby

Same for sports, (especially motorsports) a very small number of people and agencies make a good profit, the rest are doing what they enjoy. And shooting what they enjoy shooting. After the major sports, all the rest are low demand. Supply far exceeds demand.
Why do people have flower gardens? You can't eat them? Yet there are florists, but the majority of people, just grow them, and spend all kinds of time and money, because the enjoy doing it.
