i would say the price of a small car, but after a read I'm thinking it may be cost of a prestige car.

This is a rocket launcher!

The price of it would be in the range of $12K-$20K.
It will be available on the market in October-November this year.

Sigma also do a 300-800mm that I've always wanted, too.

But that said, Canon have a 1000mm fixed if you prefer quality.

My God! You could get arrested for carying that thing. I bet it is not cheap. I wonder if the images would be sharp enogh.

Good lord that is just ridiculous. although 750mm at 2.8 on my crop body would be bloody nice. Perhaps in 10 years when they come down to a price that is somewhat acceptable 2nd hand.... :wink:
