Sigma APO 200-500mm F2.8 EX DG

[Ambious]

Go to the Imaging-Expo Singapore and PIX Exhibition and see the life size lens. Bigger than i thought. Just imagine the lens diameter bigger than 106 motar diameter.

It sure will literally beat the hell out of 200-400... that is if you use it as a bat. :bigeyes::bsmilie:

Doubt u can do that. After seeing it in person, 1 Lowepro Primus AW fully extended might not even fit it in.

that day i was shooting w 70-200 and D200, my fren tried holding already said no wonder i go to the gym....until she sees this beast!

Ask her to go down to the show and see it herself. :bsmilie:

You mean you guys in here just knew about this monster lens from SIGMA?

By the way it was said to be USD$15,000.00 - which isn't too bad considering that some Canon & Nikon lenses are aleady SGD25,000.00 & above...

But it is definitely IMPRACTICAL to go around with & using it in Singapore, you might even need a bloody PERMIT, I wouldn't be surprised if you even need a license to own this here ...!

Uhh. The first post indicates that the thread originated quite some time ago. I think you just realised that we all knew about the lens all along.
