If you have $10,000 burning a hole in your pocket there are some great opportunities on new and refurbished super telephotos. Profeel via eBay is now in-stock with the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x for $11299.00. This is one of the cheapest prices that we’ve seen since introduction on this lens.

If you’re looking spend just a little less than that (but not too much less), we saw the introduction of two refurbished lenses this week: Adorama has the Refurbished EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM for $9999.00 and the Refubished EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM for $9499.95. This is the first time we’ve seen these two lenses available refurbished.
