let the party begin.

I'm too late for the season; hence don't have much opportunity to capture more. Only one day that seeing action. Golden hour. Not great idea lighting condition.

It's too bad we can't stack two 2x TCs as this lens could handle it and we already know the A9 can handle an f/11 combo....1600mm f/11....one can dream

True, true, but that is an 800-1600 lens....I'm greedy and want a 400-1600 lens
Plus, two Sony 2xTCs is probably the same size as one Canon or Nikon one so it wouldn't add too much to the lens length...making an 800/5.6 gives you another behemoth lens to lug around and personally I'm done with those

Didn’t you spend $10k on a 50mm Leica Noctilux? A 400mm lens for $12k is significantly cheaper on a “per mm” basis .

You spent it, but it doesn't look to me like you blew it. It looks like it's in good hands.
