It's not going to be cheap, but you do get a free hernia with every lens...

The Sigmonster is heavy enough and I've felt the weight of one! I'm sure this lens will be well over £4k probably nearer the price of a prime Canon or Nikon 500mm F4. |

I think the cost will eclipse the Canons, and it'll come in at nearer 6-7 |

There is a rumour - don't know how true though - that for the first 10 customers who purchase, the donkey, cart and oversized beanbag will be free  However, you must renew your subscription to BUPA first by 1 April 2007.
