True I usually take a leak for a lot less than that.

I'll throw in $500 if someone wants to share ownership of one when it arrives.

I wonder how much it weighs? At $1/gm that would be 8lb+. :-)
I think it might be a bit lighter than that; the 250-600/5.6
weighs in at 5400gm (almost 12lb), but that needs the

Urgh... I paid like $250 for the Tokina 400mm on eBay. But who could
doubt that the 560 will be ten times better, and then some? shakes

It mentions disassembling or collapse for easier transport. Maybe
it's extra long so you can feel superior among your Canon-user
friends.

That would be hard to do all the Canon users around here seem to drag
Bigmas with them. If size matter they're KING!

Probably means the part that looks like a fixed lens hood has a bayonet
mount can be reversed for stowage.

You mean, there are actually people here who are not in the market for
any lens at all times?

planned items comes through, we should also see a DA

If Sigma can sell a 150-500mm f/5.0-6.3 DGOS HSM for $(US)1069, I would think
that the DA560 should be in the same general price range. The zoom has got to
be more expensive to build . . .
At least that is what I am hoping.

Depends on the price, of course, but I'd probably bite on it. I have the
A* 400 f 2.8 but it is so fricking big that I never use it. A smaller,
more compact 560mm would be great. As an f 5.6 lens, though, it has to
be totally sharp wide open.
