That's just the marketing page for the lens. What part am I supposed to see? I fully research these lenses before I buy. I spend hours looking at samples and reading reviews. Marketing hype from a company webpage is useless except for specs.Here is some more Fodder for the Fire. Interesting reading if you read the entire document.
My only mistake was at the store. I should've checked the firmware version when I tested the lens.
My mind was made up already. Since I already have the 200-600 I'm all set for distance, wildlife, birds, etc.. This lens was purchased for a specific purpose, which is handheld, at the drag strip, for 8-12 hours at a time. The added weight of the Sony is very undesirable. Based on empirical evidence most of these shots will be made between 100 and 300mm and from fairly close. I typically stand about 75' +/- down the track along the wall and fill the frame as much as possible while still getting 6-7 frames off the line. After reading reviews and looking at tons of samples, there's no way the Sony is worth $1500 more to me. Maybe if I didn't already have the 200-600.
