Supposed new Sigma LONG glass
You want long zoom? How about 200-500mm at f/2.8?
Check out this beast coming out from Sigma supposedly. I hate to think about the support system needed for this thing!!! http://www.dpreview.com/news/0703/07...ma200500mm.asp

OMG...that's one huge lens. Check out the size of that SLR connected to the end of it. The Sigmonster (300-800mm) lens is big and heavy, but this thing looks like a true backbreaker.
Can't even imagine the price for that sucker.

My tripod is not worthy. No, literally. It would probably collapse under that kind of weight.
 Any bets on what this one will be called? We already have the Bigma and a Sigmonster, should we call this one the BigMonster? Bigma II?

Well if it's ONLY $7,000.....that's actually kind of cheap if it can really deliver on the promises.
Where a pic of the Nikon or Canon 1200mm lenses that are 3 feet long when you need one?
