Note it comes with a USA warranty.
(Sorry, doing a little surfin' and when I saw it, it looked familiar.)

Not an "L!" (No red ring.) But man, what a tripod mount!

No! That's a Sigma. A Sigma-5 to be exact! :)
EDIT: Good grief - how soon we forget. The image is that of the Saturn-5 rocket system that was used during the Apollo space program. Where I got Sigma from Saturn, I'll never know.
I can only blame the Anheuser-Busch brewing company. :)

I reckon the black/white focus and zoom rings are a good innovation, easy to see and grip, unsure how easy to use without a tripod though, would need one helluva is system

I would say, that upon its first use, the price of this one would be "out of this world"
Have Fun,
