Hmm John, you might be right. I hadn't seen such a large photo of it yet, but it does seem ike some sort of lever to me as well. It also seems to be out of balance in that way [:-*]


And indeed good questions Kayaker. However your second question and remark about why they can't make extenders like this for every lens. I just have to say, that I'm not always willing to pay extra for an extender, which I might not even use. In the tele-range it makes sense though. Still the 1.4x II extender remains on my wishlist []


I guess we'll be getting more details soon. Or wait, maybe not. I'm still hoping that it's available in the same budget of the 100-400 [A] (perhaps the coffee-mug[])
