are you sure? the latest 50-150 got HSM... anyway i think the pic on DPreview is just sort of prototype...
from the look it doesn't even have a tripod collar or focusing ring... :sweat:
most probably will be added later on together with some cosmetic changes. :dunno:
unless you telling me that the 2 non-marked ring infront are the focus and zoom ring

 

[Hein]

Hehe, what if this is a push-pull zoom system like the 100-400.. Hahahaha

Yeah man. It's way too ugly, uglier than even the Sigma EX finish. Hahaha.

 

[lukexav]

wow.. imagine carrying this and a sturdy and heavy enough tripod ard. Its gonna kill.

Those who are into astro-photography, a piece of advice - get the 1200mm f/5.6L instead.

If u get this 200-500 f/2.8, everyone will have ur head if aliens mistake that as some kinda secret weapon and u trigger an interstellar war. ;p The 1200mm f/5.6L is less intimidating.

new category for weight-lifting:
contestants are to lift this lens (with body attached) with one hand, hold in the shooting position and position themselves in shooting hand held.
