Wow, it needs a hood that's so long they built it with two separate bayonet-able sections? That in itself must be a record!

Aww, c'mon, at least one shot already!!
I had for awhile the APO 500mm f7.2, styled the same as the OP's 800mm, and it wasn't a good lens at all - I hope for us all the 800 isn't reminiscent of that one. |

That thing is huge! Stay away from airports and government buildings
 Looking forward to your sample shots. What will you be using for a tripod and head?

Dang, that is a GoOoOoD deal. If I'd seen the auction, might not have gone so cheap
If it's as good as my old 500/4.5 EX - more accurate comaprison than the 7.2 - then you've got the deal of the year. |

All I did was list it here as I always do when I see something I believe would be of great interest to a fellow Dyxumer. I posted the first link, would have bought it myself if I didn't already own something in that large size. |

It was a BIN listing. Same price for whoever clicks the button first. |

My apologies for getting to it first.  I had insomnia, and decided to browse through Dyxum. Saw the message, thought about it for as long as I dared, then pulled the trigger.It may be a good deal, but I just put a bid on proper support for this lens, and that's going to be expensive (see picture below).

Doesn't have to be expensive. I recently sold this Superball (BALLA) below for $250 - retails for much more. It would hold the 800mm easily. The tripod that it's on is an Induro A413, cost me $63 on Amazon one day. It's huge. I use it with a Gimbal as well.  |

Most interesting thing so far for me is the serial number...100's21.
Assuming that Sigma would have kept a couple back for themselves that means that are at least 14-16 of these sold and out there....Given they would most likely have been bought by professional togs, or at least very serious amateurs, I wonder how many are still on the go? This is the only one I have ever seen or heard of for sale. Health to enjoy it Rory. |

Yep, enjoy it RS. BTW, I think you've got the 'pod for the 200-500/2.8 there.
