Images are embargoed until it's not pre-production. The lens is big, about
14" long and then 20" extended. The build is mid-range, plastic bodied
mostly but the balance is good. It feels like the 80-400mm only longer.
Has a tripod mounting leg on it. Focusing is fast, but I was using a Nikon
D810A so that probably helped. Subjectively, the images are sharp at 500mm
f/5.6 and f/8.0, but I'd rather see them on a computer screen.
Thanks for the heads up.
This lens will have tremendous reach on a mFT body. ;-p You know, with
one of these:

I wonder how it will compare with the Sigma 150-600 Sport. On a FF. Not
that I can't hold my breath though...
Autofocus?
Ain't there a twisty ring on those thingys? Whatever,
I'm pretty
sure that Sigma supports autofocus on Nikon...
Yes it does. I'm talking about the adopter ring.
