I see he used the
model with the
white focus-ring....
There looks to be a lot of glass in that lens....hope it wasn't too heavy !

This special lens won 3 awards so far

and it'll be officially released early next year at one of the International shows.

I've heard the smaller lenses are good glass, like the one displayed, but the bigger zooms (ie 1250ml/mm and the 2000ml/mm) are a bit plasticky. I've also heard the 2x converters change coke into pepsi. Is there any truth in these rumours?

I don't care about VR but, if it's an AF-S bottle, I'm interested.

Apparently, these are often used with a ND64 Coke-in filter...

Actually, that's the ED
model as it's glass.
Get yourself one of the Coke buddy's and you'll have a nice plastic G series
model.
