Tony Northrup has released a video on the new range of Canon's R series of lenses ....... I won't even bother linking it !!
he claims 11 inches length for the 600mm and 13 inches for the 800mm and a guesstimation price of $1500 and $2,000 respectively ....
.........he claims the amazing compactness of length of the new Canon 600mm ............. so I measured it ........the Tamron G2 is 10 3/4 inches long inc. bayonet.......... of which 1/2 inch is bayonet inside the camera!! .... so 10 1/4 inches.
So for the G2 you get a 50% price saving ........ a minimum of 1 1/3 rd stop increase in light and the zoom of the G2!
The viewers are obviously wildlife shooters ....... not one positive comment ..... not one ... all derisory !!
Ma Lord ....... I rest my case !!
