  Why does a bit of glass and a bit of plastic cost so much? I don't understand the high cost of lens.

    how finely and accurately can you design, grind, and assemble special pieces of glass so 24MP images are tack-sharp?

    it isn't window glass either!

      I just think of complex electrical components costing a lot less, but I imagine there are great costs in the refining stages.

        Don't forget R&D costs. An iPhone cost ~$180 to make, but if I gave you $180 you would never be able to design, prototype, and manufacture even a Nokia brick from scratch.

    This is an L lens so not made of plastic either…

    Plus R&D costs.

    Incidentally, this lens is mostly plastic:

    I bought it just last month in Hong Kong for AU$1050, so this is a good price.

    Because different color have different wave length, and it is difficult to recalibrate all the color to align on the same focal plane.

  Good Price but I prefer the 100 F2. This one is too heavy (yes I know it is a L lens).
