In Canon's view, non-F8 AF isn't an issue. Jason

Why? Canon has been quite clear that the 1DX will not AF on F8 lenses since the announcement day. Mr. the Kid.

Most people will probably be using the 300mm f2.8 or 400 f2.8 with this and when they need longer they can add a 2X TC easily and when that is not enough (or they are using the long end quite often) they can probably afford the super tele's . -Brendan B.

The small bird shooters with a 500/4 or 600/4 and 2x are probably the most disappointed....perhaps BIF with a 400/5.6 and 1.4x too. 1Dx2 (2), 5DSR, 1Ds3, 1D4, 5D2(590nm), 5D2(720nm) EF600 EF400 EF300-II EF300 EF200 EF200-II EF180L EF135L EF100 EF85-II EF50L TS-E17/4 TS-E24L-II TS-E45 TS-E90 MP-E65 EF70-200-II EF24-70/2.8-II EF16-35/4 EF8-15/4 EF11-24/4 Zeiss 15/2.8 21/2.8 25/2 28/2 35/1.4 35/2 50/2 85/1.4 100/2 135/2 T/C's L-SC & a WIFE!
