Well I guess my high-3s was even a bit optimistic . I think that confirms to me that if they do a 600PF next it will match the 400DOII price in the 7s...
The length seems about right and would be a nice size....hoping the weight will leak next....
As per the NR post some other lengths to compare to:
300PF: 14.7cm
500FL: 38.7cm
I just measured the 200-500 unextended and it is 26.7cm. Extended is 34.3cm, almost as long as the 500FL..which is why I sometimes just go out with 500FL without hood and am almost as inconspicuous as with my 200-500 at 500mm(I hate attention from people out at parks, preserves etc) So having this 500/5.6 be a tiny bit shorter than the 200-500 non-extended and with what we assume will be substantial weight savings over the 200-500 could still make this lens tempting....however, as I noted a few days ago, I am also more interested in a 600/5.6 but I have to be realistic of the price being $7K USD.
