Sigma APO 200-500mm F2.8 EX DG

You'll need to tow it like a 120mm mortar with ranging devices. Probably need a FO too.

Wow, U need a very big dry cabinet to keep it...

Launch it into space then.;p Just like the Leica huge lens too.

 

[Spectrum]

Sick sick sick!!!! :bigeyes: I reckon at least 12kg...not suprised if its much more than that...maybe 18kg thereabouts?

Ok lets call this the monstermama... :bsmilie:

Well it looks a bit like the atomic bomb which was dropped on Nagasaki, believe it was called "Fat Boy", lets dub this lens Fat Boy then! ;p

The Canon 1200mm f/5.6 is around 16kg. I think this will weigh no less than 20kg. If it drop on someone. Then, *** bless him/her/it.
