Hi there,

Has anyone heard a rumour that canon are bringing out a 200-400mm F4 L lens?. If so any ideas on an expected release date ?.

Cheers

About two years ago this was announced, comes with built in T/C

Not heard anything for ages about it or if it's still even planned for production
 
They did some testing of the demo lens earlier on in the year, heard that there might have been a few issues, but a release date, unsure, perhaps for the main photographic show August / September with a possible end of year / 2013 date, but all rumours. At the price I've heard quoted not sure its within my budget.

There was one at the Canon show at Islington last November, had a quick look through it but couldn't keep any images.......price looks like being horrendous and it's quite heavy, slightly more than the Nikon equivalent.
 
Thanks for the replies folks, looks like it will be out of my price range when it eventually does get released !. Maybe I'll look at getting a 2nd hand 400 2.8 or 500 f4.
 
Still big bucks, but not as much!!...400 2.8 is extremely heavy however, 500 is the bee's knees but still looking at £4500- £5000 as the replacement is going to be much more.
Best of luck!!
 
Given the sigma 120-300 with 2x and 1.4x extenders will give the same range at the same aperture the image quality for 1/5 the price is going to have to be extraordinary!
