Instead of a tripod mount on the bottom of that lens, it should have a whole tripod built in........ |

... After letting the image of the new Sigma behemoth sink in, I just can't get past the question of why Sigma would produce a lens like this. Why not produce a 500 f/5.6 lens, one that would autofocus on most consumer DSLR's? How about a 400 f/4 that is cheaper than the DO Canon lens or even a 400 f/5.6 with OS? In other words, why not fill a gap in supertelephotos instead of producing a monster like a 200-500 f/2.8? Granted, it has no competition, but who is going to want one of these? It must weigh a lot more than most will want to carry anywhere. Eric Miller www.dyesscreek.com I have a feeling it was/is an engineering excursive, much like the famed, and fabled, Canon 1200 mm f5.6. It basically says, "Hey, look what we can do!" -- Skip Middleton www.shadowcatcherimagery.com www.pbase.com/skipm |
