My arms are too puny I'd imagine (and I thought the D3 was a brick...)

Of all the shots on that page, I think you posted the wrong one!

Buzz Lightyear

I posted this last year when it first came out with a price tag of $25,000.00. This lad got a loan of the lens from Sigma to try it out. I bet they had no problems doing this as it would add to thier publicity. At that price tag sure I'd buy two, one as a spare

If bigger is better:

(yes, that is a MF Hasselblad back on the lens... I wonder how my D40 would look on it?)

Zeiss 1700mm f4

You need a tank to mount this on (256kg).

What the?!

That looks like a giant space age hoover or a laser gun or something of that sorts!!

Thirdfox

For some reason I always likened it to a whale of some sorts (huge mouth and tiny "fins" on the side)

padocon

Wow! Big lens! I can imagine lifting that! Heavy!

Really? And i've just discovered that they make one in a sony mount.


/Runs off to find a phone number for sigma......

Calina

got a model lined up have you?

I looked at that when it was announced. It's just too big. I like the idea but the bulk is just not worth it.

Looks like something you could use to destroy tanks. Imagine trying to it in your hand luggage on Ryan Air:D
