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

[Colin500]

Aha, either this is an early April fool's joke, or the answer as to whether the 70-300L is the replacement for the 100-400L: http://dpreview.com/news/1102/11020708canon200400mm.asp


Ciao, Colin

It

[Kamelot]

It will be great for those, who have 70-200 series lenses and want more, but do not plan to buy 100-400 []


Just interesting, how it will work with and without and extender? How it will be detatched / reatatched?

Did you see the first guestimate on price..... $7500 USD.[]

[Pieter]

@Steve U, well, it can

Yup, so it sais in the announcement []


Oh boy, this is really the ultimate tele-zoom lens!! 200-400mm F4L IS with optional extender capabilities....wow!!And with full internal zoom if it looks like....wow. With the idea in mind that it has image quality equal to the latest Canon lenses....sigh....say no more [:#]


I think prices are going to be astronomical for my budget unfortunately[]


By the way, have you also seen the T3i and Rebel T3??

[Sheiky]

Hmm look what I stumbled upon while reading the T3i/600D preview:


"Alongside the camera, Canon is also launching the 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS II"


Some great announcements today [A]

Wow that

The nikon 200-400 costs $6800, so the Canon won't be much less.

Much more... I'm going to guess $8500, and even that might be on the low side. Consider the pricing on the new 300/2.8 II and 400/2.8 II. If Canon follows suit, I'd expect this to be a couple of thousand more than the Nikon counterpart, especially since the extender is built-in.
