Cool video on the manufacturing of the $5000 Canon 500mm lens. Just under 15 minutes total. Select "lens gallery" in the lower left corner of the cartoon window.

No problem. I'm a how-its-made addict and I get a kick out of this kind of stuff. The coolest part is when they show the powder that they use for the lenses... It still amazes me how glass is made.
