+1 on that.  I wonder if 600mm f/4 DO would represent an alternative to the 500mm f/4, for wildlife -- in terms of weight and hand-holdability implied by the shorter physical length.  ... and what would the price be, and how would Canon position this one along side the today's 600mm.  And would it play well with a 1.4x....

All that aside, a shorter/lighter/cheeper 600mm f/4 would be wonderful, and give wildlife folks a new option.
