Mostly for shooting wildlife at dawn and dusk when the light is low.

Even when sitting downwind from an animal, it is important to have use of a long lens like a 400 mm or 500 mm.

Since as you say, $26,000 is a whole lot of money, I would doubt that too many of people here would own such a lens.

Sigma makes lenses that will fit most major brands of cameras, so the camera could be one like a Nikon D810, Canon 5D, Mark III or other that produces high resolution still images.

EDIT: Weighing nearly 35 pounds, this lens would need to be mounted on a very sturdy tripod and having a photo assistant along would also be helpful
