Fake or real? - Klaus - 06-02-2019 http://sonyaddict.com/2019/06/01/sony-fe-200-600mm-5-6-6-3mm-g-oss-coming-june-5-6th/ RE: Fake or real? - toni-a - 06-02-2019 In fact it was published as a classified ad on yahoo, the seller was asking little money, so it seems more like a stolen or found item. So most likely it was a real prototype unless it was all set up by Sony which seems unlikely https://petapixel.com/2019/06/01/it-looks-like-someone-stole-a-sony-prototype-lens/ RE: Fake or real? - Klaus - 06-02-2019 Those zoom and focus rings do look fake though. As if printed via a 3D printer. RE: Fake or real? - Rover - 06-03-2019 Prolly an early prototype anyway, or even just a physical mockup. RE: Fake or real? - JJ_SO - 06-05-2019 You can buy it, if you like: https://www.dpreview.com/news/3911050659/sony-200-600mm-f5-6-6-3-g-oss-fe-lens-prototype-appears-on-auction-website RE: Fake or real? - davidmanze - 06-06-2019 (06-05-2019, 03:40 PM)JJ_SO Wrote: You can buy it, if you like: https://www.dpreview.com/news/3911050659/sony-200-600mm-f5-6-6-3-g-oss-fe-lens-prototype-appears-on-auction-website Looks like this was some birding Sigma engineer who woke up to find just the bayonet on his camera and a large lump on the back of his head ....... RE: Fake or real? - JJ_SO - 06-06-2019 No, I think, Sony wants to make a bit extra money for their R&D. Prototypes are not cheap RE: Fake or real? - Rover - 06-06-2019 If it's hollow inside, it could make a good "techno" looking flower vase. RE: Fake or real? - toni-a - 06-07-2019 SONY 200-600 along with Sony 600mmf4 are almost official now, so no it is not fake |
