Re: 600mm f/11 or 800mm f/11 - which one would you buy?

800mm f/8 and 2000mm f/11 lenses are some seriously big, heavy lenses.  In those examples that aperture is more or less necessary to make them usable.  Even at that, they are VERY specialized pieces of equipment.

The purpose of these two new DO lenses seems different to me.  They seem to be all about giving lots of FL while staying pretty small and hopefully relatively inexpensive.  Unfortunately, like the lenses you mentioned I think they will be very specialized.
