Only other 600mm I know of is a Canon or Nikon but they are in the $10K range but also F4. But for outdoors, F6.3 is still pretty good.

Seems like a better performer on the long end. 150-600  75-300  What's the difference between the dotted and non-dotted lines for 30 lp/mm? Buy/Sell Feedback

If Tamron or Sigma could make a razor-sharp, fast-focusing 200-600 f/5.6, it would be very competitive. Can you explain why you think 1/3 of a stop matters so much? I am assuming it will pretend to be a f/5.6 lens to the AF system... David

But it also makes it easier to make than a 5.6. If it was a 150-600 F4.5-5.6 then yes I can see the cost over 2k but remember guys this is Tamron who's only recently broke the $1K mark w/ it's 24-70 & 70-200 VC models.
