They show it a number of times throughout the video, both in close ups
and the lens just casually lying around desks in multiple offices.
They also talk a lot about the challenges of designing "the lens", but
never specify which lens that is.

Despite Sony's (rumoured) claims that they'll be releasing a
mirrorless FF as a successor to the A900, MILC's don't yet have the
standing to warrant a 300mm f/2.8. But Samsung is working on a MILC at
a higher level than their NX10, which should be announced in August
together with the "premium" (their word) 85mm f/1.4; it'll be their
pro level mirrorless. Depending on what they think "pro" means, it
could be a camera that warranted a 300mm f/2.8.
Did anyone else think the 300mm looked quite compact?
