Sheesh, Canon is being such an enabler [:P]


I'd imagine it'd be fairly quick, considering 500mm would cover such vast distance. I'm thinking the slower of the 2 speed settings is more for smaller changes in distance (maybe matter of couple meters).


Hopefully the improvements in image quality of the lens will justify this addition. Otherwise I'd imagine lots and lots of angry people []
