There are lots of lenses with exorbitant pricing, such as a $2 million Leica APO-Telyt-R 1600mm f/5.6 lens custom-built for a Qatari royal, but what about lenses that any photographer can buy or rent today?

Lensrentals, a popular picture and video rental firm that also sells used gear, has prepared a list of the most costly lenses currently in production.

Those super-long and fast telephoto lenses, including those that are great additions to any well-heeled sport or wildlife photographer’s gear, are among the most costly lenses in existence — and available to rent from Lensrentals. Some of them are as follows:

List Of 10 Most Expensive Camera Lens?

• Canon RF 1200mm f/8 L IS USM: $20,000

Canon’s RF 1200mm f/8 L IS USM lens tops the list for a whopping $20,000 USD. The RF 1200mm f/8 L IS USM, which was announced in February 2022 alongside the RF 800mm f/5.6 L IS USM, is surprisingly lightweight for being the longest telephoto lens for mirrorless cameras. The RF 1200mm super-telephoto prime is compatible with Canon’s RF 1.4x and RF 2x teleconverters for photographers who require even greater reach.

• Canon RF 800mm f/5.6 L IS USM: $17,000

Canon takes second place on the list with its other extremely long and expensive RF lens, the RF 800mm f/5.6 L IS USM. The RF 800mm, which trades reach for a quicker aperture, is a sure bet for sports photography at a slightly lower price than its 1200mm sibling.

• Nikon AF-S Nikkor 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR: $16,300

Nikon’s 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR lens is the first on the list. DSLR lenses, thanks to lens adapters, remain popular among many photographers, including those using mirrorless cameras. Nikon’s 800mm f/5.6 lens includes a custom-built 1.25x teleconverter, Nikon’s first teleconverter with an ED element.

• Nikon Nikkor Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S: $15,500

Nikon, not to be outdone in the mirrorless market, enters with their most expensive Z lens, the Nikkor Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S. The lens is not significantly less expensive than the RF 800mm, but it is shorter, quicker, and features a built-in 1.4x teleconverter that can be activated with the flip of a button. The lens is pricey, but it is a fantastic lens for Nikon Z shooters, according to hands-on reviews.

• Leica 75mm f/1.25 Noctilux-M Aspherical: $14,400

A considerably shorter lens, the brilliantly bright Leica 75mm f/1.25 Noctilux-M Aspherical, rounds out the top five. The manual focus portrait prime lens produces stunning bokeh, with the background blurring into a seamless blur.

• Nikkor 1200-1700mm f/5.6-8.0 Lens – $60,000.
• Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6 L Lens – $89,579.
• Carl Zeiss 50mm Planar f/0.7 lens – $150,000
• Nikkor 6mm F/2.8 Fisheye lens – $160,000.
• Leica APO-Telit-R 1:5.6/1600mm – $2 Million.
