Aye, it's because they're rubbish, no one wants them.

Maybe I should have said not many folk can afford them, for a limited everyday usage lens.

Probably still has it's postage stickers from Australia....

All these 1200mm primes have me feeling somehow ... "inadequate" ... with my mere Bigma.

Ah, but the Bigma can autofocus and double as a portrait lens!

Of course, pretty much everybody feels inadequate when one of these beasts is hauled out... I mean who has a Canon 1200mm or the Nikkor 1200-1700mm zoom?

this only reinforces my conviction that getting a Q is the right move. aside from the fact that the Q is about $16,500 less than this monster. When coupled with my 300/4 and the 5.5 crop factor I will actually have the equivalent of 1650mm at F4, with something that weighs about 1 kilo.
