Could this be $13,500 better than the Canon version? You're even giving up .1 of an f/stop!

Nah, not actually giving up 0.1 of a stop - that's T-stop here, not F-stop. The Canon loses probably the same, maybe slightly more, if real transmission values are measured.

The price difference is a little bit more than you indicated, actually, see here:
http://www.adorama.com​/CA702002ISU.html (external link)

IOW, roughly $17700 difference.

Is it worth it? Not for me, but for some it certainly will be :D.

Kind regards, Wim

Price: $44,650.00

I assume this lens will drive you to your second or third job if you get it right? I'm sure that accounts for some of the price difference...:cool:

Oh, the Canon has this: "Geared Inner Focusing Reduces Breathing". That explains the price difference.

Makes the similar range and also manual focus but sub 800 dollar (upcoming EdMika EOS adaptable) 50-300 4.5L seem like a bargain

Ontarian - that 50-300 is an interesting lens.

And if I spent $44,650.00 on a lens I think my wife would reduce my breathing too...

I'd consider taking two- but if I put it up on e-bay to sell it- even at 1/2 price, how many years do you think it would be till I get a taker ? ;)
