What's the price, Infinite?

I am sure it will be very popular for broadcast and sports. As a rental item of course. I wonder why they didn't make a similar photographic lens, the market for such a 1500mm sports/wildlife lens is ENOURMOUS, cinema and broadcast, not so much. It might be because it's APS-C only and that makes it relatively small in size compared as if it were a photographic L fullframe lens. And perhaps the price too, this will probably be 80-100K.

Thanks for adding the price Terry,

I couldn't find it earlier today! I was expecting it be higher, not bad.

Yes, at $70K, this amazing lens is under-priced based on it's competition....big glass with Canon's DNA (warm & creamy) should translate into it being popular, especially with harsher cameras that need that DNA to help mitigate their look...definitely going to do well in the rental market.
