Hi Bob, A fixed length, sealed lens barrel like my EF 70-200 2.8L. Built-in protective UV filtered glass front element and armored outer filter ring, shock absorbing hood mount, o-ring sealed lens mount would be a good start. Then add about 35mm on the long end and keep the f/2.8 lens speed and keep the IS feature OUT of the lens to make it affordable.
