Sony 500mm f/4 lens spotted!

Sony is mum on the lens, but quite clearly they have an unmarked prototype 500f/4 on display in their booth at PMA. It features all the bells and whistles we've come to expect from a high end Nikon or Canon lens, including the "stop focus" detents around the barrel. Nothing speaks to a company's committment to the pro market more than long lens development, so if this lens and the recently introducted 70-400 are any indication, Sony is here to stay!

On the right you can see the lens behind its protective glass:
