Well...a Canon 600 f 4 with IS is $7199! Yes, it's IS - but it's also a
full stop slower.

But it is probably built like a 300/2.8 intended for a 35mm SLR. I can't
see why it would be any harder to build a 300/2.8 that fits on an E1
rather than an OM. It doesn't even have to cover a 35mm frame. The light
rays from a 300mm lens should be pretty close to perpendicular to the
image plane without doing anything special.
Maybe a special Tamron Adaptall would yield a comparable "600 2.8" for
far less than $5300. -jeff
