The Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 lens is a $26,000 beast of a lens. It’s also one that few photographers will ever hope to own. But that didn’t stop several people from reviewing the lens on Amazon with some rather humorous takes on what the lens has fictitiously done for them.
The sample images are pretty entertaining too…

Check out the above view of Earth from the International Space Station at night. I was surprised to see how much area that a lightning strike covered with its glow.

Ricoh’s president was recently quoted saying that “Ricoh will offer characteristic compact cameras under its own label, while trying to bring the Pentax brand on par with Nikon Corp. and Canon Inc. in interchangeable-lens cameras.” While we have no specs or details on what the camera will be like, the source article notes that it would not necessarily be an expansion of the recently-announced Pentax Q system, but rather a more prosumer offering with a larger image sensor.
Of course, the Pentax reference comes from recent news that Ricoh is acquiring the company, effective October 1.
