On 30/3/11, Collin Brendemuehl, discombobulated, unleashed:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/551435-REG/
Sigma_597101_200_500mm_f_2_8_EX_DG.html

At that price there's a small team secreted inside who pop out and help
hold it when you forget your tripod.

Re: As big as a submarine

2011-03-30 Thread eckinator
Actually the case weighs 1.5 times more than the lens. It is a run of
the mill Otterbox type. There were two of these lenses in the bay from
an official sigma outlet after photokina, one Canon, one Nikon. they
went for 7K€ each compared to a list price of 20. seems demand or
appreciation isnt that huge. not surprisingly so, seeing this is a
specialist lens such as for vehicle mounted wildlife shooting etc.

 Yeah and so is that price and for that price wonder if they have someone
 that comes along with it to carrying for you.
