Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 APO EX DG Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens

Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 APO EX DG Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens for $25,999 + free shipping

Great item to take advantage of Free Super Saver Shipping. This is a nice beginners lens. Ok, I'm lying, but seriously, is this a price mistake? Also, in the description it says that the item weight is 34.6 lbs. Shipping weight.....drumroll please.....a mere 141 lbs. Now that's a lot of packing peanuts!

In all seriousness, you need to look at the user-submitted photos, as well as the reviews for this item. They are the main reason I posted this monstrosity. One person claims that he sold his children to the Pesticide & Insecticide Testing Corporation. Enjoy.

Can i use the $5 voucher from my preorder of Portal 2 on this?

@galenanderson: Pretty sure that this thing is a modified portal gun. One of the reviewers even claims it. As for the voucher, I don't see why not. With the $5 that you'll save, Sigma is practically paying you to buy their product. Jump on it while you can!

I found it here for only 15,000 euros, but I can't read the shipping weight.

Assuming only 100 lbs of the packaging is peanuts, that would make the package over 700 cubic feet, if my math is correct. Which it seldom is at this hour.

Really a bargain if you get that special celeb shot, or feel the need to stalk someone and obey the restraining order at the same time.

Seriously though, the reviews state it is over 100 lbs, so there is your typo right there.

Not a deal. $25,999.00 is list price. See here http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/551436-REG/Sigma_597306_200_500mm_f_2_8_EX_DG.html and here http://www.photo4less.com/products/Sigma_200-500mm_f_2.8_APO_EX_DG_Ultra-Telephoto_Zoom_Lens_for_Ni__________SG200500NI.html

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
