Show me a 600 (non-cat) lens that is 545 grams. The best 600mm is the one you have with you...or can pack up to a mountain top.

First example I came across... Canon Powershot SX740 HS is 299 grams and goes to the same 960mm equivalent. It even has autofocus and stabilization.

Realistically, the Tokina is not a 545 gram lens.  Handholding an unstabilized 600mm f/8 lens while trying to manually focus would be more than just a bit challenging.  A tripod is pretty much mandatory, which makes this more of a 2545 gram lens.
