Well I guess that there is a few lady fashion photographers with bigger
biceps than they want that will be grateful for that!

Seems to me that there are two obvious areas for exploitation of DO
given that the 400/4 gap is going to be plugged immediately. One is the
200/1.8 already mentioned, the other is reinventing the 800/5.6 of FD
days. The improved telephoto ratio possible with DO might make the
latter quite manageable.

Then again, Canon might just surprise us, nobody expected the
100-400L....
