It is made of plastic (so don't expect it to have build quality like 100-400L or 400 5.6L). It would be good for those who want to carry this beast handheld or long distance without getting tired.Exactly, do hope that the build quality is super tight too and IQ on par or better than competitions.
Spoke to Tamron personal and he/she said expected arrival on our shores is FEB 2014.

Better build quality = more expensive.
Some comparison added
300f2.8, 500f4, 800f5.6 and of-course Tamy 150-600

@ Fable, not sure but people shoot Canon 500mmf4 handheld (Version1).
Believe me this is going to be breeze against carrying 600mm (Version 1) with Gitzo series 5 tripod .

@ Fable, Thank you. There were days when i was active in birding now got kids no time .
@lightrules, No worries mate, also planning to get one (wait till FEB ).
Family commitments and personal reasons i sold the lens (it was pity that i didn't really use that lens to full extent but it was fun till i own the lens).on Fable's hint,i browsed through your Flickr album..indeed very nice birding shots inside,a waste that u don't shoot anymore.
just curious if u still keep the 600mm?
Thinking of order from amazon.jp ..... kind of can't wait till Feb 14.

If time permits i will try to get involve more in birding (missing my old birding friends).
