lol, shipping to Sydney is $1,549 :lol:

ask Chuck to take it for you...

would be cheaper than that for an air ticket.... and no one would ask him about excess baggage.

Yeah, B&H has a used one for $99K

I think the 2.8 IS is heavy ... that 1200mm baby is 36lb - OUCH!!

$99K and no IS? You are kidding!!

when something weighs 36lbs do you need IS?

also are you ever going to be using IS when on a tripod, from waht I understand, IS doesn't work on tripods.

IS works on tripods (in newer lenses) just fine. But it's very unlikely you'll be handholding the 1200mm, IS or not.

I'm hoping this thread is the compilation of all the threads of this subject, and that there will not be anymore hereafter.
