Sorry Sean, my bad. I do read the News every time I visit but must have missed the post.

I thought seriously about the refurb that came up for 8k at Canon last week.
The length and weight hold me back.

i wonder how many of those guys are using the 1.4x
When this beast was first announced I thought it would be great... and just like you the weight and price ruled it out.

I noticed that CR have been saying that a EF 200-600 f5.6 will be announced shorty. If my calculations are correct it should be about the same weight (because of the size of the front element) as the EF 200-400 f4 x 1.4, but a little cheaper because there's no X1.4.

PS: In Australia the EF 200-400 f4 X1.4 is around A$13,000
