Big hunking piece of glass. Hope it comes with its own motorized tripod.

I,on the other hand, hope it's light enough to hand hold at an air show. And costing less than a luxury car...

The Sigma 800 is 'only' £4-5000 in the UK. So I guess the Nikon version will come in at twice that price!

Seems like getting a Nikon 400mm f2.8 with a Kenko DG300 Pro x2 (like I currently have) is a smaller and lighter (relative term!) option. :lol:

Think you missed cheaper JK? (Also relative term in this case.)

Good, long, light and fast lenses don't come cheap.

The fact that all my main lenses are now f2.8 and AFS means that my collection/tool bag is complete.
Same with the DSLR cameras.

I just need to go take more pictures.

That's OK, it helps pay for the kit!
