Well, it depends on how much I could get for the original GM 600mm without any TC . A difference of $2,000 is lot of money for a TC that would normally cost some $500. Including the loss from the sale of the original GM lens though, the actual $ difference is probably more like $4,500 to $5,000. Thats far cry more than just $2,000. I almost can guarantee that the price of the GM 600 would go down quite a bit as soon as a new version with built-in TC is announced . A built-in TC is however very convenient, I admit. Plus, I remembered back then from my C days that a combo of two 1.4X TCs (the other one is made by Kenko) would yield slightly better images than the 2X TC by itself. But back then though, the 2X TC from C was a piece of crap, to say it bluntly. Sony 2X TC, on the other hand, is quite a bit better....Show more →
That's a good way to look at it, Joshua. I bet IF Sony comes out with such a lens for $15000, the "old" 600 GM's resale price will probably drop to $9000, so we could be looking at a $6000 difference. Let me check my Power Ball ticket
