She doesn't look happy that one is much larger than the other.

I wonder what happened. Strap failure ? You *don't* do a lens change in those kind of conditions.. bring a separate back ?

What's the point of an F4 lens at this focal length?
Why not just go with F5.6 and save about 10 pounds of weight.
In either case, it's only going to be used on a tripod.

This reminds me, I must find a nice warm hat to pack for my trip to North Cape next month.

AF speed, extra touch of shallow depth of field, 1 stop less noise, sheer awesomeness of that much glass.

That, plus I don't think Nikon currently makes a 600/5.6. Nor any other manufacturer that I'm aware of.
