Quote:Is this a first? A manufacturer releasing two lenses at the same time, with similar basic specification but differing in placement?I guess it has happened before... at the very start of the EOS system, Canon offered two 100-300/5.6 zooms, one L and the other non-L.
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...
Dang, the Photokina thread I attempted to start went belly up for some reason - can't even be opened so I can delete it.
