It shouldn't be in there if it's not, as it's easier to make a fast lens with a smaller image circle. Other lenses I'd include are: Nikon 13mm f5.6 rectilinear (non-fisheye) Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 rectilinear (non-fisheye) Nikon 300mm f2.0 Canon 200mm f1.8 Nikon 1000mm f6.3 mirror lens Carl Zeiss 1000mm f5.6 mirror lens Canon 5200mm f14 mirror lens (beast of a lens) I’m not sure that the Canon 65mm f0.75 Lens is designed for full frame 35mm format.

I remember going to a photo convention a long time ago and seeing a guard standing near some steps leading to a camera mounted to a lens. As soon as I saw it, I recognized it as the Canon 1200 f5.6.... and nobody was there. I spent about 15-minutes shooting with it, wishing there were more things to shoot other than conventioneers and photo booths. Even with the limited lighting, the lens never searched for the subject and locked in extremely quick. When someone finally decided to wait in line, I reluctantly stepped down and let them give it a try. So many people outside the photo realm don't understand what it takes to design and build these unusual lenses...... but its good to see these companies build them just to show that its possible.

I'd be happy to test out the Canon 1200 5.6 if someone has one lying around somewhere :) Some of these are just insane.

The Zeiss 1700mm is quite a mad looking lens, saw that one a while back. The "Unleashing the Beast" link is worth looking at on the Nikon 1200-1700mm lens. I'm sure I saw the Nikon 6mm f2.8 Fisheye Lens on eBay not long ago, wasn't cheep :-) Enjoyed reading this, thank you for posting !! Great to see all these lenses in one place.
