    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!

    Here’s a little something I did with Houston Preps. They’re a group of high school seniors that have made commitments with Big 12 schools. I’ve never done a shoot for a magazine cover, so this was exciting. I did some initial research on how to make these athletes look their best by looking up sports magazine layout. It was a treat to work with them and we wish them all the best in their developing careers.
