So I'm at a NASCAR track/race and someone mentioned that there will be someone from Canon here today that will be testing the 500mm/600mm F/2.8
Will post pictures of the lens if I can =)

Considering that the longest Canon f/2.8 EOS-mount lens is 400mm, and that Canon's fastest 500mm and 600mm EOS lenses are f/4, it's going to be easy to spot an EOS f/2.8 lens in the 500mm-600mm range. Wouldn't be surprising if it looks a little like the 35-pound Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 lens.

Of course, I'll never be able to afford one, but what an awesome lens it would be. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

DreDaze happy with myself for not saying anything stupid  More info | Oct 07, 2011 19:17 | #13 BLD_007 wrote in post #13219121 She said 2.8 "the other photographer" I have not seen Canon yet.

I will keep you updated there's no such lens...and certainly not a MK II...cause there'd have to be a mk I for that...it's probably the MK II versions of the 500f4, and 600f4... Andre or Dre

Canon knows how to make their already expansive lenses look affordable :]
