If you set the buttons to your liking, it's quickHow many years of training does it take to know what all those buttons and ports are for?
It was initially over $30K when the original version was introduced in 2014. It has had a few price reductions since then and has been sitting around the same price for years, now. It actually surprises me that it is still in production after the 15-120 w/1.5x built-in extender came out. But the 17-120 is an absolute workhorse in the industry, even still today, despite being a decade old. And copies can be found on the used market for $12K-$14K.
I don't know the actual global numbers, but the lens is an absolute workhorse in the industry. I've owned mine since 2016. And I can lay my hands on probably around half a dozen more of them around town with just a few texts(to mostly other owner/ops).I love Canon's phase " the popular... 17-120". I wonder what the actual sales numbers need to be to be "popular"
