EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM EXTENDER 1.4x

[Jeff Lucia]

200-400 with 1.4x, and the convenience of not having to mount/unmount the lens PLUS the extender on the fly, will surely hold a ton of appeal for bird/wildlife and sports shooters. Still, I wonder if this built-in extender technology will start appearing on other lenses.

Did anyone notice that there are 3 modes for image stabilisation? I wonder what the third mode is...

[PaulM]

3rd mode is stabilized only during exposure. They describe it somewhere in the blurb, albeit briefly.

Ah thanks. I don't see a huge benefit to that then. I like having IS working while focusing and composing, especially at longer focal lengths.


Oh by the way, I just unboxed my new 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II.... it's slightly sexy.[]
