Birddog,

I don't like because it is the wrong colour - white/cream, excuse me I am colour blind, black - 'maybe yes' .

Cheers,

Hmmm. Stubbsy thinks - $15K or a new VR, and a tripod and a ball head and a....

Hmmm, so let me see. I could have one of those at US$15,000, or from Birdy's sticky US15k would get me:

...and a partridge in a pear tree.

$US15k and it doesn't even auto focus?!

What I want to know is what do you feed a lens? And it needs 1/2 kilo of food? How often?

But seriously that is onoe heavy lens to have sticking out the front. Try and hand-hold that sucker and Arnie will be jealous of your muscular arms!

Craig,
Are you going to put your name down in the pre-order list? I'm ready!

I'm probably not as $$$ready$$$ as you but .... "if the dreams big enough, the facts don't matter" I will have one - sometime. Also very interested to see what might succeed the 600mm f4 in the next few years.

VR once again and perhaps 2.8 (I don't think so it'll be 2.

2.8 without the VR would be fine for me - in fact I have no complaints with the f4 to be honest.... this would be just fine

If it's the 2.8 it'll be a huge lens and you need an assistant, can I?
