For that price it better include a member of the Swedish Bikini Team to help me carry it around...

It's one thing to know about this lens; it's quite another to see it for sale!
I'm surprised there aren't any reviews.

It's really not that big. The wide angle perspective exaggerates the size !
I'm holding out for version II, with IS.

LOL! It took me a second after I followed the link to realize I wasn't looking at a camera mounted on a telescope! The wide angle perspective really blows the front of the lens out of proportion - it's only 9" in diameter IRL.
Still, it's 36lbs. and 33" - and the case is larger and heavier than that. I think for $99k they could at least throw in contract services for the SBT...

A lifetime gift card for your favorite Chiopractor would be great!
