"We spent some quality time around Sigma's monstrous APO 200-500 F2.8 lens this afternoon, and what can we say? It's gigantic. If you've ever wanted to the look of a portable rocket launcher without all the hassle at the airport, this is definitely the way to go."

No real reason for this to be this size but nice none the less

I use a Sigma 120-300 f2.8 and a 400mm f2.8 and a 600mm f4 which are beasts in their own right too....

Need a solid tripod for this....

Interested in seeing results with a 2x Converter.
