    It’s perfect for baby’s first steps!

    No, seriously… I am not sure why ANYONE would need this lens. I still find myself wondering if it’s even real! Unless I needed to take pictures of the forgotten step-planet, Pluto or see Transformers 2 hours before they arrived, I wouldn’t need this bazooka of a lens on my lil’ old camera.

    I still need to research the validity of this product because of crazy price AND the following customer review on Amazon:

    “The Sigma 200-500 is simply amazing. Yes, it’s a little pricey. But if shooting long-range targets is your passion, this is the piece for you. Just last week I was using mine to shoot some deer out in a field. I was probably about 300 yards away from them.

    With the Sigma, I was quickly and easily able to line up a nice shot. The detail on the image was amazing… so crisp and clear. So I could aim exactly where I needed with no fear of missing or blowing the shot.

    With that I pulled the trigger and took the shot. The deer dropped immediately. When I approached it, I found my shot hit my mark exactly. The deer’s neck was almost completely separated, only attached to the body by a small thread of flesh.

    Getting this deer head and neck mounted to display in my den was so much easier than normal, as the part I needed was already separated from the deer. This is simply the best piece of artillery I’ve ever used. I highly recommend.”

    I LOL’ed when I read the ending. I think it’s a joke. Just look!

    The ad agency has done their website entirely as a series of YouTube videos connected by clickable annotation boxes. The URL actually redirects to the main video. Visit http://www.booneoakley.com to see what I mean.

    This is a daring, creative use of current technology to promote.  SEO won’t even be important for these guys because the press they’ll get from this unprecedented approach will bring in more buzz than any amount of keyword stuffing.
