Default New Nikon 500mm f/5.6 Is this an error?

Update says half that (~$4300).

It's very expensive for a slower lens, …


Long lenses like this don’t get particularly fast without becoming pricy.
It’s less than what the Canon 400mm f/4 DO costs, for example...

but more than that, does that front lens look 90mm wide? Reason I ask
is, it has to be at least that wide for the 500mm to be that fast. Probably
just perspective of the shot making it seem narrower in the front.


Looks to be bigger than 77mm, so seems fine. And the small size is because
they’re also using the equivalent of Canon’s DO bit.
