The world’s most valuable camera lens

July 30, 2020 by Anuruddha Lokuhapuarachchi Leave a Comment

Photographer's dream

Everyone has a smartphone in their hand today with good camera features that can take good and clear photos even at night and get high quality 4K video. High technology can take amazing photos of these. But professional photography is a little different. The requirements for professional photographers are also somewhat complex. They are always looking for the best equipment for the best results. They also prefer to use a lens that is more compatible with the distance and size of the subject being photographed. But their enemy has always been the high cost of professional camera lenses. Take a look at the lenses below, they are the most expensive camera lenses currently manufactured in the world.

Laika (Leica  ) 50mm f / .95 – Rs 2,328,477.77 (£ 98,00.00)

This excellent camera lens was first manufactured by Laika engineers in 1975 for the Laika Noctilux-M camera. But then it was upgraded with new features and adapters and now it can be used with all types of professional Leica cameras.

Priced at 9 9,600.00 in the British market, Laika has released only 95 lenses to the world market. Each lens issued has a unique identification number. The Lyca 50mm f / .95 comes in five batches with eight different elements and has 5 semi-diffusion lenses that can limit color errors. The lens also has two asbestos surfaces, with 6-bit encoding that allows close-up functionality and transmit trans-data to digital M cameras. Performs paintings and detailed studies of the extremely shallow depth of the open lens aperture, the uneven aesthetic effect. Even with the light from a single candle, you can still take pictures with the camera in your hand without a tripod.

Sigma (Sigma ) 200-500mm f / 2.8 EX DG APO – 4 Rs 4,444,453.74 (£ 18.706.86)

This impressive telephoto zoom lens at Sigma stands out for its large lens aperture and impressive focal length. This combination allows very distant objects to capture images at high shutter speeds and even in dim light. Sports photographers and wildlife enthusiasts are very interested in one of these. In particular it can be connected to the lens mounting mechanism of Canon, Nikon and Sigma cameras.

Sigma’s APO 200-500mm F2.8 / 400-1000mm F5.6 EX DG is the first ultrasonic telephoto lens with an aperture of 500 mm F2.8. When fitted with a specially designed extender, the 400-1000mm F5.5 becomes an ultra telephoto lens. It has ELD (abnormally low diffusion) and SLD (special low diffusion) glasses for maximum correction of distortions. This lens has a great ability to track the subjects of fast moving nature and the focus of sports and fast moving objects such as surfing, polo and football.

Canon (Canon ) 5200mm f / 14 mirror lenses – Rs 8,355,713.46 (£ 35,171.00)

The Canon Mirror Lens 5200mm 1:14 is the largest SLR camera lens currently manufactured in the world. It is capable of photographing or photographing objects at distances between 18-32 miles and has a minimum focusing distance of 120 meters. Weighing in at 100 kilograms, this lens cannot be attached to the camera and carried around.

With a full-resolution DSLR camera with a focal length of 5200mm, it can be fitted with the APS-C DSLR camera to give you a focal length of 1mm. 8320. Only three of these lenses have been produced, and ten years ago one of these extremely rare lenses went on sale on eBay. The minimum bid was set at 35 35,171.00 and was withdrawn a month later because no one had bid.

Zeiss Apo Sonnar T 1700mm f / 4 Rs 18,568,062.17+ (£ 78,150.05+)

This lens is the result of an attempt by optometrists at Carl Size in 2006 to produce the best lens in the world. This Hazelblad is designed to be used with a 6×6 medium sized camera. This incredible lens weighs less than 256 kilograms, so it goes without saying that this is not a traditional camera lens.  

Carl Size is a leading manufacturer of camera lenses, and they continue to collaborate with Sony and Nikon to produce lenses for mobile phones and digital cameras. Their experience in manufacturing large telescopes and instruments for astronomy led them to produce a camera lens with a complete focusing mechanism. Due to the size of the elements, this lens is equipped with an extremely powerful focusing motor. A special LCD monitor is built into the rear end of the lens to display the focal length, aperture, etc. No clear price has been announced, but there are hints of a price of at least a few million euros. However, the lens is said to have been made by an anonymous wealthy man from Qatar who enjoys wildlife photography.

Nikon (Nikkor ) 6mm Fisheye lens – Rs 29,717,214.33 (£ 125,054.00)

Nikon’s Nikkor 6mm fisheye lens with this wide angle, one of the ultimate advances in optics technology, is rightly said to be the king of kings in the world. For 125 125,054, this stunning lens offers you an incredible 220-degree cover.

Nikon first introduced this lens in 1972, and in 1983 created an updated version of the Ai-S. Over the years, copies of this lens have sold for between 23 23,444.00 and 78 78,149.00. However, at an auction in London in May 2012, the lens sold for 125,054.00. 

Canon (Canon) EF 1200mm f / 5.6 – .CDB out 33,424,119.95 (£ 140,666.63 )

This is the world’s largest and longest interchangeable SLR AF lens manufactured by Canon. Specially designed by Canon, this super telephoto prime lens is perfect for both sports and wildlife photography due to its focal length and maximum aperture. Its nearest focal length is 49.5 feet. This post-order lens was manufactured by Canon from 1993 to 2005. This finished lens, produced entirely by human labor only eight months after ordering, produced only two a year.

In 2009, B&H International Camera and Video Equipment Merchandise sold the lens for 93 93,778.00 in the UK, while in 2014 it was acquired by MPB Photographic for 128 128,946.00. The lens was later repurchased by B&H in April 2015 for 140,668.00.

Laika (Leica ) 1600mm f / 5.6 Telephoto – Rs 371,371,541.95 (£ 1,563,003.00)

Apart from the creators of this lens at Laika, only the Sheikh of Qatar, Saud bin Mohammed Al Thani, the only owner of the lens in the world knows the functionality and technical details of this lens. That’s because Laika made the only camera lens of its kind ever made for him. The amount paid for it was 1, 1,563,003.03. A model here is housed at Laika headquarters in Germany.

It is generally known that the Leica 1600mm f / 5.6 brand is designed to fit the Lyca-R camera model with a length of 1.2 m (1.55 with a lens cap) and a maximum diameter of 42 cm. The giant lens weighs 60 pounds [60 kg] and was designed by Mercedes to mount the lens for shaking.

Carl Zeiss (Carl Zeiss ) 50mm Planet F / 0.7 – Rs 4,289,286,848.93 (£ 18,052,455.44 +)

This unusual lens is one of the largest lens openings in photographic history and was created specifically for NASA’s Apollo lunar program to photograph the farthest side of the moon. The Carl Size 50mm Planar F / 0.7 dates back to the 1960s and produced only ten lenses.

One was kept at Carl Size and the other six were sold to NASA, and the famous film director Stanley Kubrick bought and used the remaining three during the filming of his Barry Lyndon movie. The incredible quality of the lens allowed them to shoot scenes with the same light coming from the candles, and according to the designer, with the help of the lens, they can shoot scenes in complete darkness. The lens is estimated to be worth more than $ 23 million, making it the most expensive camera lens in the world so far in terms of inflation.

    I was educated at Ananda College, Colombo for twelve years as a child and then studied drama, photography and journalism and later chose journalism as my career. He entered the media as an amateur writer and photographer and was a news photographer for a national newspaper.

    Thereafter I became the Sri Lankan News Photographer for the International Reuters News Service. Under this, I received specialised training in international media services in Hong Kong and London. During that time, I was responsible for publicizing news photographs of the state of Sri Lanka and the Maldives around the world through the Reuters news service, especially near the events of the Sri Lankan civil war, and photographed areas of government forces as well as Tamil rebels. I escaped about seven fatal accidents there, and one time I was injured in a suicide bombing.
