Thanks, but being right isn't the fun part. The fun part is we're all going to be able to get our hands on the world's first 200-600 first party internal zooming lens. Safari time!

I take your points. Still since the aperture is so modest 5.6-6.3 it seems within the realm of possibility. And while we are likely looking at a shell, it doesn’t look like there’s any gap from where an extending barrel would protrude.

Here’s hoping at least.

I'll be really surprised if that doesn't extend while zooming. I see it is at 600mm but it doesn't even look to have the internal barrel present from the top down shot. This is just a casing and some electronics...not even sure if there is any glass in it. The Yahoo Auction listing lists it as junk for possible parts.

If this doesn't extend then I'd look at it a lot more seriously. But we've seen what it takes to make a big lens that doesn't extend (Canon 200-400 and Nikon 180-400)...this ain't that.



There is no chance that it doesn’t extend.
