You yourselve said 'hijack', so I gather you know that it's not what the thread's purpose and objective and purpose is. Please refrain from doing such things.

from the look, probably the size of the bigmama 300-800 f5.6 or even bigger... therebout.. :bigeyes:
that would mean at least 8kg :hung:, my guess would be 12kg

Hmm it looks like something recycled from an 84mm Carl Gustav.... :bsmilie:

:bsmilie: I guess this is even harder to hold... the front looks so fat

Sigma should supply a special tripod for the lens and not just a TC.

And while they're at it, might as well a manpack to go along.

that lens in the "hijack post" is the nikon 600f4, i'll say it's tiny compared to the 200-500f2.8

anyway, i'll say the 200-500f2.8 is great for street candids, I mean, u'll blend so well into the crowd, if only there was VR/IS/OS, then it'll be the perfect street photographer's lens, perfect for handholding :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

Trolley ar....get the NTUC one should be good enough liao. Or maybe they will supply a Sigma brand one. :bsmilie:

I think Sigma should supply a tripod with wheels for this thing...else how to lug around?

 

[szekiat]

call it the willis lens!

 

[Venom81]

That's a scary lens. :bigeyes:

 

[mervlam]

[haagen_dazs]

i dont even know of an SLR lens that can shoot at f2.8 at 500mm
impressive!
this lens will be pretty useful for sports in the evening (low light) or even indoors too (low light)

cool :thumbsup:

the website's fine print said "camera not included".

heck... they might as well throw in one for free for those buying this fatma.. i think this lens falls under the category of "if u have to ask the price, u can't afford it". :bsmilie:

damn have to eat grass for at least a century to set it up properly. imagine tripod, wimberly, single dry cabinet just for it and a new backpack. not to mention medical costs for hernias and all that crap.
