I enjoyed looking at the rumor article until I saw the 12,000 + US dollar price tag of it's f4 cousin - I wonder what they mean when they say considerably less expensive?

Less weight, less money, could be nice for some of our bird stalkers!


Well the 300mm PF lens is only somewhere around $1000....significantly cheaper and lighter than its predecessors. So the hope is that, as this proposed 600mm is the same construction technology as the 300PF lens, the saving in weight and cost will also be significantly cheaper than its predecessors.

We will have to wait and see.
