Have you heard of the Internet? It's quite useful for doing basic searches to find current information and current stock at the various outlets.

Try it - http://www.google.com is a good starting point, or you could read the article below, which may seem familiar!!!

Get off your gravy train and use what you already have.

Yeah - that's the intended target market alright - the Prosumer. LOL
Do you realize that you could add a 1.4x Teleconverter to your 600mm f/4L lens and turn it into an 800mm f/5.6 ?
(actually it would be 840mm @ f/5.6 - even better than the 800mm lens !)

Now, if Canon came out with an 800mm f/4L then that would be something special.
