Do we need yet another thread on this? I know it is like the ultimate trophy and always stirs up the discussions, but I just want to hear about it when an actual POTN member buys it.

Gentlemen, it's only a lens and it's too heavy for BIF. Spend it on a Porsche.

That lens is horribly overpriced. All you need is a 600 f/4 + 2x.

thats for Fox news corp or the major media giants. Not for you and me. And I thought $1,310 was expensive for a lens.

I don't think even newsers would have a need for this particular model.

How 'bout NASA? Now there's an organization that can use some serious optical reach!

Shows signs of use, but very clean
Additional Comments:

WITH TRUNK CASE

I thought they came with their own tripod, too, or was that another urban legend?
