I have been watching this lens for a while and this is the cheapest price I have seen for this highly rated Sony G Series lens.
Here is a review: https://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/sony_fe_200_600mm_f5…
The Regular price is $2849.00, but with the sale price and using the code and cashback promotions, the final price should be $1965.28.

f5.6 at 200mm is pretty slow. Still a nice lens though.
