Saw this over at DPR. Looks like the revamped version has a tripod collar, while maintaining the same length by shrinking the huge focus ring and slightly cutting down on the zoom ring length.

Aww man, I like V1 much better. The big rubberrized rings are much sexier.

f/4
It's more or less the APS-C replacement for a 100-300mm f/4.

Its good to have a tripod collar but they had more space there to make the focusing ring bigger, should have used it

I want to get the 60-250 instead of 50-135.

crossing my fingers for around ~500-600 by 2009... unrealistic as it is.
