canon lense question

[sapd1098]

I was wondering ,why doesn't canon make a 100-400L IS in a 2.8?

I would think three thing:
1) Size
2) Weight
3) Price

Just look at the size of some of their fas fix lenght lenses in the 400mm range.

Hubble AdapterMaybe Kodak would be able to provide the corrective add on lens like it did for the original.

with the 100-400L & after a morning at the Botanical gardens shooting sunbirds, your arms felt like after an intense weight lifting session.
