Already drooling? 
It's owner is going to get the new Fluorit version?
I found the zooming only comfortable when the lens was mounted on a Gimbal- or other tripod-head. When holding the camera with one hand and zooming with the other, I used the longer tripod foot to rest on my wrist - either way, zooming or focusing manually is no zzzzippp-and-done action.
I'm not in front of the Mac otherwise I could look after shots with the lens not done at 600 or 840 mm, but I doubt the number is anything higher than 2 digits compared to 1000 at 600 mm. It's also not very convenient, that I have had to lock the zoom ring when pointing it towards the sky. So you have more something like a 7-step prime than a seamless zoom.
