This is an oldie but goodie... Sigma's unique and rare 1000mm f/8, it's an AF lens screw driven, and works perfectly on each of my Nikon DSLR bodies. The lens is sharp from f/8 when using a hefty tripod.

Included is everything that came with the lens retail, drop in UV, and drop in ND, with 3 other drop in filters, Case, hood, caps, keys and strap... The lens is in near mint condition with very few signs of use.

I'll add some pics before the end of the week. $1995 paypal'd/shipped to CONUS.

OBO

It's about the size of a 500mm f/4 but a bit longer... so... not quite that big :-)

This is a whopping $118,000 discount compared to the faster Canon version at:

Can you attach a 2x TC and show us what 2000mm f/16 looks like?
