So do you throw in the 1Dx on the end as part of the price?

No, he doesn't because he doesn't have two pennies to rub together, and his family members might have been generous with him, but they are not stupid enough to get him that white elephant lens, nor would he want it.

Besides, I am waiting for 800mm f/5.6 DO, should be announced in the fall.

Bottom shelf? What the heck? That should be a top shelf kind of lens.

Nope, it will be the 400-800 f/4 DO with dual built in 1.4x extenders

The size of that beast I'd be scared it would fall thru the shelf .
I'm surprised they put it in the case , safest place would be on the floor of the basement and even then I'd be afraid if there was a subway underneath

I wonder when Yongnuo will make a copy of this lens. They are after canon old lenses

My sources have been mum about the possibility of a TC to go with the 800 DO prime:
However, I see a few options:

(1) Integral 1.4x TC, similar to 200-400L.
(2) Matched 1.4xTC, following the Nikkor 800 concept, included with the lens as a separate dedicated accessory.
(3) No special TCs developed for the lens, the MkIII TCs are judged to work well enough with the lens.

My guess is that #1 option is the most likely one.
800mm f/5.6 to 1120mm f/8 at a flick of a switch, in an eminently handholdable lens (3.4 kg including the integral TC ?). I like the prospect of that a lot.

It's not the size of the tool, but how you use it

Somehow I think there is only one of those lenses that continues to be resold every year due to the lack of IQ wide open.
