But nah, I think you're right. Prices of the 100-400 will not drop because of this lens I think. This lens is in a whole different category.


One thing I'm wondering about is what this lens' minimum focus distance would be. With the build in extender, it might give a very nice magnification...


How would this extender work by the way? Any idea? A movable rear-element/group? Since this "extender" will not add anymore glass than it already has, chances are high that it will remain a very high quality 560mm lens, right? Perhaps even similar than at 400mm?
