So? Buy it, hire Dr. Bruce Banner, A.K.A. The Hulk to carry it around and be sure to post some pictures before he smashes it during one of his rage attacks...

Amazon Review:

Well, I finally decided to spring for the Sigma 200-500 f/2.8. For under $30,000 I couldn't pass up the deal. I know, carrying a 37lb lens around may seem like a chore, but the savings in gas to drive to photo shoots more than compensates for it. I actually do most of my Florida and Georgia area outdoor wedding and landscape shoots from my rooftop now. The IQ is tack-sharp even wide open at 1000mm (w/ 2x converter, obviously) The issue I had, was when the FBI and Homeland security showed up at my house. I was shooting a wedding in downtown Orlando, which is only about 30 miles away, from my roof. The house was surrounded and guns drawn on me. You see, I live near enough to a major airport that the neighbors mistook it's green color and imposing size as some sort of ground to air missile launcher. I would strongly consider coloring it a light color to minimize thermal expansion during the day, and marking the side "Not A Stinger Missile". Also, it is a nice walk around lens for family trips to the zoo. Low light performance is superb. Most photos can be taken without flash, on a moonless night, following a massive power outage, by simply lighting a fart during the exposure. Experiment with differing brands of beans, as it affects the color temperature of the raw shot.

Why not just get the 200-400L IS and be done with it...

That Siggy is just to lagre, you might scare the birds away, not to mention the ladies

Those of us who use it regularly find investing in a Manopod is worthwhile.

… Does it come in white …?... maybe with a red ring to signify that it’s something special …
That factory paint job is I think what makes it stand out in a crowd …

I feel Sigma Corp. would have done much better if they used the 200-500 f/2.8 development funds to update/enhance their Sigmonster and 500 f/4.5 with IS etc.

My local camera shop had one in last year on demo from Sigma. It's hard to imagine Sigma would demo a lens as soft as that one turned out to be. My camera guy thought you would be better of cropping a Canon 100-400.
