We recently covered the Kickstarter campaign to bring back Meyer Optik’s legendary Trioplan 100mm f/2.8 lens. Meyer Optik Trioplan f/2.8: ‘Soap Bubble’ Bokeh Leica advertises that the lens “out-performs the human eye”, but it is up to you to decide if the $10,000+ price tag is worth it. What this means is that despite having such a wide aperture, the Noctilux-M stays extremely sharp. While not the fastest lens in history, the 50mm f/0.95 is the highest-speed aspherical lens. Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95: Speed and PrecisionĪ company known for their high-quality German engineering, Leica produced the Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 and continued to push the barrier for what is possible. Only three copies of the lens were manufactured one of which appeared and sold on eBay for $50,000 a few years back. The Canon 5200mm has an f-stop of f/14 and is designed to focus on objects over thirty miles away.
Weighing in at over two-hundred pounds, without its stand this piece of glass isn’t one you’d take backpacking. If none of the above lenses seem to quench your thirst for focal range, then maybe Canon’s 5200mm prime lens will get you interested. There are also some hilarious reviews of the lens on the Interwebs.

Did we mention that it needs its own battery pack for autofocusing? At least it comes with a free case for the $26,000 price tag. The 200-500mm f/2.8 is one of the fastest sports lenses on the market and includes a 2x teleconverter so you can easily zoom in up to 1000m. This piece of equipment is not a bazooka, but rather an extremely fast sports lens designed by Sigma. The price is also a mystery, but what we do know is that the lens is made up of 15 elements in 13 groups and was designed for medium format systems. The lens was designed for an anonymous “wildlife photography fan” in the State of Qatar. If you were a photographer with seemingly unlimited monetary resources, how would you spend your wealth? How about hiring Carl Zeiss to build you a custom lens? In 2006, Carl Zeiss showcased their massive Apo Sonnar T* 1700mm f/4 lens at Photokina in Germany. Carl Zeiss Apo Sonnar T* 1700mm f/4: Super Telephoto The Planar 50mm f/0.7 lenses allowed Kubrick to shoot a scene lit only by natural candlelight in his film, Barry Lyndon – a feat that would have otherwise been impossible. Only ten copies of the lens were manufactured: Carl Zeiss kept a copy, NASA purchased six, and Director Stanley Kubrick bought three. Originally designed in 1966 to allow NASA capture photographs on the far side of the moon, the Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7 is one of the fastest lenses (if not THE fastest) ever produced.
