UPS just brought the massive new Sigma 150-600mm Sport lens for Nikon. I'm so excited and am going out to shoot. Will post some pics later.

I need to hire some one to carry this for me. No longer a "Bigma"

How about Godzilma?

Shouldn't be a huge task to carry it. I'm assuming your wallet is a whole lot lighter to compensate. You just may lean forward a bit more when you try to hand hold it.

You are going to shoot it hand held, aren't you, like a "real" man would?

I think you're gonna need carriage wheels for your dog.
Go up the Sears Tower and take pictures of New York. Just be careful it doesn't pull you over the edge.

Enjoy Don!

Those waves look like somebody is going to lose a boat. :XD:

Just thought of a name, Sigmoose. Because that lens weights as much as a moose. :lol:
