What sold you?  The cleavage?


Canon has had this around for a while:

And then there is this monster...

Seriously, that Sigma looks like quite a lens!  It is a zoom, which
these two others aren't.  With the 2x teleconverter, it is a 1000mm
f/5.6, almost on par with the 1200mm for reach at the same weight, but
at a third of the price.
