He might have deleted it. Maybe leaking too much for Sony's liking on a public forum.

Yes, he posted the picture of the OSS right here in this thread, replying to my post. Then it was deleted.

For comparison:
100-400 GM. 1395g, 3.7x8.07" (retracted)
200-600 G: 2115g, 4.39x12.52"
new 100-400: 1840g, 4.75x13".
So it's even longer than the 200-600?

I see it now...
Maximum magnification of 0.25x, along with the 2.1-4.9' minimum focusing range, suits working with close-up subjects at near-macro magnification.
So not as good as the 0.35x of the current 100-400mm GM. That will probably drive my purchase or not

After watching Steve Perry's video, and now know the size of this lens, my interest in this lens just dropped 75%. If this lens+1.4TC is not better than the 200-600, there is not much for me to look for. Need to watch more reviews though.
