[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 811278, member: 34269"] I had pre-ordered this lens and today, my Camera store called me and said it was in. I was NOT going to do it... I was just going to check it out... I lied to myself. the 200-500 is longer and bigger around and heavier. I was very disappointed when I saw the tripod foot. I had hoped the mound would be the same. I hate using a plate, but RRS or someone will have a suitable replacement. Got to try it out tomorrow... The drive to Lexington and back was crazy. I am a small-town guy these days. There will be a 200-500 for sale soon. I have to ask the one person who said "if you ever sell it..."
