Here we go... Who needs Canikony for sports?

Also only $5999 US RRP

Lusting already

I do not think I would ever buy, but renting if I ever go on a safari... Yes!

I will never use such a lens but it's good that it exists for those that want a beast like this.

It really is a beast at 4kg, you'd have Popeye arms after using this handheld on a regular basis.

It would be amazing for video obviously using a tripod. It would be Planet Earth UHD stuff and the zoom is much more versatile than the 600mm f4 prime.

Canon and Nikon users are a bit peaved LoL and now L-mount has a top notch sports telephoto zoom and f4. There has been loads of moaning up to now about this void so lets see if they buy it, probably not even with the insane value... the whingers

Should be reviews of it in a few days time and hopefully downloadable RAWs. Hopefully a good photographer is providing samples, test charts are mehhhhh on their own for such a lens . You want to see colours, renders, bokeh and 3D pop along with the generic stuff.

Hopefully local shop gets one in for a demo

Not my sort of lens, but for those who shoot little birdies, I’m sure this will be the biz! With the specs predicted on the S1R, for around $10k you’d have quite a decent setup!

Is that a bazooka or camera he's pointing at us?
