I wanted to comment on that, but didn't know if anyone else would understand. Glad you did.
And we haven't started to talk about the "throat" of... oh well lets end this right now

Even 1 pound is diffucult to achieve..I am going to speculate.
New Coating
2 ounces
and $4,000 more
Now to hope,
New Coating
2 pounds
2 more stops of IS
and it is the same price as the II
I agree. The version II teles are already fantastic anyway...Dont need to upgrade 600 or 400 .. they need to upgrade 7dm2 and 5dsr
You realize that the people who design lenses are not the same people who design camerasEven 1 pound is diffucult to achieve..
Does anyone sane think that 300mm 2.8L IS II needs an update?
By doing this they’ve devalued the II which is annoying...

What's the current IS rating? 4 stops? 4.5? I don't know of any lenses produced by any manufacturer that claim more than 5 or maybe 5.5 stops of IS - unless someone can correct me? I think we're chasing diminishing returns on that front.

I know there has been talk about a "sexy solution" for the new mount but i didn't expect it to be.. that sexy

I wonder how much lighter the new 600 can be. The DO prototype that lacked AF and IS weighted 3.2Kg.
The current 600 4L IS II weighs 3.9Kg...
Regarding weight, it could be possible to reduce it a little more, if Canon is able to do what they did from V1 to V2. (Again, thanks to TDP)
It doubled last upgrade, how about a double this time.
It is an upgrade lens. What does it matter what other manufacturer's have released?
That is no indication of what new improvement may be released.
Erm, well it's generally a good idea to keep one's expectations within the realms of reality. You are familiar with the term 'diminishing returns'? "It doubled before, why can't it double again?" is the kind of question I'd expect a child to ask. You honestly think a lens with a minimum of 8 stops of IS is realistic at this time? Looking at other manufacturers (and other recent lenses from Canon) is a good guide to what is physically possible within the budget of these things.
A child might ask the question but you wouldn't have a decent answer. "Looking at other manufactures is a good guide to what is physically possible" is ridiculous.
