    Fujinon 1200mm F24 Lens Found!!!

    Behind Glass, at the Fujifilm exhibit in Tokyo (Midtown, near Roppongi crossing).

    Quick stats:

    Fujinon A 1200mm f/24, 6 lenses in 4 groups, 50 degree coverage for 1120mm image circle, in Copal #3, 102mm front filter size and single coated.

    I currently own three samples of the A 600mm f/11 lens but this is the first time I've seen the 1200mm! The only one left on my watch list now is the 300 SW.

    Is this an imaginary entity or was one actually PRODUCED?!? I've seen it listed in Fuji catalogues and seen it discussed but I've NEVER heard of anyone actually seeing one, let alone fondling one...

    Technically it is copal 3s,I have seen one at MPEX, it was later sold to some buyer in Asia.

    Are you sure that 300SW is the last one on your watch list? How about 200mm Hypergon...

    Post from the next buyer: "Can I use this lens on my 4x5 Tachihara?"

    How's the optical quality of the A600/11? Comparing to XXL 550/11?
    By the way, image circle of A1200 covers much larger than 20x24 film, is it necessary to own this lens?

    Why do you have 3 of the Fujinon - A 600mm? I own one and it was hard enough to find.

    I don't know if you are still active on this thread since you made this post in 2010. I recently was lucky enough to acquire a Fujinon-A 1200mm. The literature is incorrect about it taking a 102mm front filter. Mine takes a 95mm X1 front filter. It is indeed single coated.

    It isn't, right? I don't see a "T" in the literature. Also, it seems many telephotos have an image circle about one-half the focal length. Whereas this thing has a massive image circle, over 3 feet!
