DOF 500mm f2.8 must be crazy lol

[trackdemon]

Focusing must be a bit critical. Narrow band of use, but a cool thing to have in your toolit I guess....

Pfff..5.6 innit. Crap

[RobDickinson]

Canon ef1200f5.6 is custom made for about 70k GBP I think?

This sigma is likely to be what 8-10 grand, can can do 1000mm f5.6.

Mind you, at (about) 60cm long and 30cm diameter I expect it to be 12kgs+?

Please tell me that pic's not real!!

(I mean without the cameras, obv)
