Is this a first? A manufacturer releasing two lenses at the same time, with similar basic specification but differing in placement?
Nice idea though. Put the C against the Tamron for those who want something smaller/cheaper/lighter (as far as you can for a 600mm lens), and the S for those demanding something more.
Now, the thing is I got their 120-300 + x2 to get a 600mm zoom. Either of these 600mm zooms might take its place, with potentially better image quality at 600 and better zoom ration too. Weight isn't any worse...
