I think I liked it better in black without the big white "SIGMA" lettering like the prototype was.

Well, I would have but according to Amazon:

"Note: Gift-wrapping is not available for this item."

So they lose my interest!

A can of black spray paint can fix that quick. :D

Free shipping too (at least with Prime)!

At least this one only costs as much as a car, instead of a cheap house like the Canon 1200mm that B&H has used....

You'd think they would include a sherpa with the lens, huh? :D

I have a feeling there will be about as many of these sold as there are Canon 1200mm's & we will all spend lots of time speculating on who's ponied up the cash for the monster.
