Agreed, but it's also fascinating to see just now much is in there.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:This just feels so... wrong to me.IanKennedy wrote:Ever wondered what is inside a camera lens and why they cost quite so much? Well watch this and you will start to wonder how they cost so little. Just to add a little context to what you are about to see. This lens is the wonderfully named "Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM" which, whilst it has a very snappy name, has a recommended price in the UK of £1,410. It goes for a street price of £950 or $970 in a US on-line shop.
