They are calling it a Super Telephoto. Its not going to be a compact easy to carry around lens. If you look at the tripod foot, the smallest lens with that type of foot is the 500mm and it weighs 8.5 lbs.


It is going to have that big bulky lens cap that is a pain in the rear and cost a fortune itself.


I think Neuro has it priced very close, $8500 maybe.


What about the IQ? If it is comparable to the big primes it might have some possibilities. How about the AF system on a huge telephoto zoom like that. Will it get close to the primes. I will want to see some reviews before I would consider this one. I would hate to drop that much money on it and then the IQ or AF system not live up to the hype.


So it looks interesting, but to me the 500mm or the 600mm if they loose 3 or 4 pounds (or even 1 or 2) is more interesting in that price range. With the big prime I would be more comfortable thinking I was getting the best IQ possible.
