Sigma 800mm F5.6 for Canon mount. Not often one of these comes up.

Seller is apparently ill and selling off his gear.

Just thought I would give everyone a heads up in case they are interested. My guess is it will go for around $3k maybe - Sigma's dont have a great resale value - you never know though.

I used one for a week once and was not at all impressed with it.

Thanks for the heads up

Really! - gets great reviews on the net
I have the 300-800 and its great.

Yes Lance the owner gave it rave reviews as well then mysteriously sold it three weeks after I returned it.

If you are a Wimberley Head and heavy duty tripod user it may pass muster but I am generally only a hand held person and even though I tried it on my monopod it is definitely a tripod only lens.
