After reading through Romy's post on the Bigma getting OS, thought of browsing through DPReview news....

Whoa!!! Now we're talking!!!!

The world’s first ultra telephoto zoom lens that offers a fast aperture of F2.8 at the 500mm focal length.
The dedicated “Attachment” ensures autofocusing at the 1000mm focal length.

SLD and three ELD glass elements provide high image quality from the maximum large aperture
Supplied with ø72mm filter holder at the rear

the ultimate question...
how much and how good is the IQ?

I'll settle for the 10 kg 800 L IS if I win the lottery. On second thoughts, I'll probably buy a yacht and get a couple of 200-500s as anchor. Does Sigma paint these battleship grey?

That's a good idea Romy! We can use your yacht as a Floating Blind!
