I think if this lens ends up a silly POS.. then Pigma will be the natural choice
But somehow I doubt it will be a dog.. or pig

I almost never set out to photograph a landscape, nor do I think of my camera as a means of recording
a mountain or an animal unless I absolutely need a 'record shot'. My first thought is always of light. -Galen Rowell

I'm down with the SigmaSaurus REX - That's good teamwork there CDS!

Sigzilla is 2nd
Sigmanator is 3rd

Agreed. Sigmasauraus rex seems about right, cause unless your a dinosaur / rex of some sort, I don't see you holding that badboy and shooting it handheld.

Hmm, it could in all fairness be some sort of missle launcher.

SigOWMYBACKHURTSma. Holy crap, that thing is immense. Would make a fine complement to the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS though.

If it had IS, HSM, and it's own carrying person / servant to hold it while you shoot, and a servant to mount it on a tripod, I would agree.

Heh. That's just it though - it's too big to handhold, requiring a tripod. So IS wouldn't help much.
