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

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 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.[]

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.
