Gym membership not included! Yeah, it looks great and at a great price, but being slightly longer and 25% heavier than the 600/4 makes me question all Sigma's "handheld" comments, unless you have arms and shoulders the size of a weightlifter. Then again, I guess anything can be handheld briefly before one's shoulders collapse!
Also makes me wonder if this marvel of engineering will overcome the max-15fps inertia that stops some people buying into Sigma.

I love everything about this lens except the minimum focus distance and the weight. But, at that weight it is probably going to live on a monopod or gimbal and not be great for swinging around at up close fast moving objects anyway. What I'd really like is something closer to their 500mm f5.6 weight wise @600 with a better MFD and I think Id be good... or just an updated Sony 200-600 with the same trend they've done on the MKII vers of their other lenses, lighter, improved IQ etc

Take a look at new S1RII - with that lens that will be a pretty good wildlife combo. Maybe missing few Sony top of the line features. But at way more competitive pricepoint and with super vertisality. Very exciting.
