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…
It is.
Plus R&D costs.
Incidentally, this lens is mostly plastic:

Interesting article on "Pro-grade" lenses:
http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2013/12/assumptions-expectat…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).
Beautiful lens! + Delivery the price just OK.
Price and store in title thanks.
Otherwise good job
Also mention it is +delivery
