couldnt resist :D

Wow - thats some lens but I would need a tractor to haul one around at 15.7 kg. Nice to see that they are throwing in a 2x tc (or 400-100 f5.6 attachement as they describe it).
The 150-500 f5.6 with OS looks interesting at 1.9 kg

I won't be surprised if they start mounting them on army vhiecles... afterall, a huge item like that would be quite intimidating.

Have you seen the SRP? £16,999.99!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

My saliva is dribling...

I am absolutely not surprise for the prise.

Well after all this is another first ever! lens made by Sigma that is known to do this often. I am sure the street prise is a lot cheaper but I have just started saving for a black eyeglass, long black ski hat, a black good looking toy handgun that may look real, to make a short trip to the bank...;)

Nice one Sassan :D :D :D

Perhaps it is possible to customise golf trolleys for photographers, or maybe ex-military light artillery carriers for Sassan's lens procurement technique first, then to carry and use instead of tripod after?

If you get one of these, you have the answer for both how to get the money and how to mount it afterwards !!! Either that or tell the wife it's not that heavy!!!

I think I need to tell her not to talk to divorce lawyer as I think she has had enough of me:cool: Especially now that I finally found the ultra fisheye Nikon I was always searching for and am thinking of getting that for her for the Valentine Day, instead of diamond...
