Are you planning to sell your left kidney to arrange $6,999.95 for this lens? just judging it by your current gear list.

I'm (now) a nikon guy and I don't get it... The 200-400 VR was a great lens already, why make it a II and up the price 10%? The 80-400 VR needs a MAJOR overhaul, but instead they do it to a lens that's already great?

No, I'm saying I want a Canon 200-400 F4 IS L for the unbelievably low price of $1000. Everyone knows white lenses are superior.

agreed... but its starting to seem like a trend with both companies. They update already great lenses while other suffer for ages.

x2... the 200-400 VII did pretty much nothing to the lens other than change the VR, but did not mess with the AF motor or anything. the 200-400 was a fantastic lens as is.

IMAGE: http://a.img-dpreview.com/news/1102/canon/lenses/EF-200-400mm-f4L-IS-USM-EXTENDER-1.4001.jpg

London, UK, 7th February 2011 – Canon today announces the development of a telephoto zoom lens featuring an integrated focal length extender – the EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM EXTENDER 1.4x. The lens will be displayed for the first time during CP+, held in Yokohama, Japan.


Designed for Canon’s leading range of EOS Digital SLR cameras, the new lens will be an ideal addition for sports and wildlife photographers, offering exceptional flexibility with a built-in 1.4x extender that creates an increased focal range of 280 – 560mm.

Perfect for photographers who require high performance, fast aperture and a flexible telephoto range, the EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM EXTENDER 1.4× will enable photographers to shoot a greater breadth of subjects using a single lens, delivering the best possible image quality at all focal lengths.

Developed as a new addition to Canon’s acclaimed L-series of professional lenses, the new lens will offer an unsurpassed combination of versatility, first-class optical performance and an enhanced weather-proof construction. The model will be released as part of Canon’s continued development of its EF lens line-up, offering enhanced performance and improved functions that cater for the needs of photographers from beginners through to professionals.

The EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM EXTENDER 1.4x is scheduled for launch during 2011.



I'm afraid to even ask for the price.

Even for $3000 this lens would be an absolute steal!
