Instead of 1.5 or 1.6 its a .4 or something. To "replace" a 400 Telyt f/6.8 you'd need to be a 600mm perhaps!?!? And how long we'd have to wait for sombody to come out with that if ever is I don't know. As a comparison to the past millennium the Mamiya 645 system had a 500mmm lens A 500mm APO 4.5 which weighed 190 oz. and was 14.9" long which translated to a 310mm lens on a 35mm camera. You do have a bit of leeway for cropping that you don't quite get with the 35mm format digital or film. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
