Sony's supertelephoto mock-up

Sony showed some forthcoming SLR lens designs--and its ambitions for attacking a market dominated by Canon and Nikon--at the Photo Marketing Association (PMA) show last week.

The nonworking models were under glass at the Sony booth, and Sony wouldn't say when they're scheduled to arrive.

The supertelephoto, of unspecified focal length but roughly as large as 600mm models from rivals, is the headliner because such behemoths are so expensive that they appeal chiefly to professionals, not a mainstream market.
