Looks like Canon is borrowing technology from their Broadcast Lens division.

Those lenses have TCs built in as well.

TOKYO, February 7, 2011—Canon Inc. today announced in Japan that it is developing a new interchangeable super-telephoto zoom lens for use with Canon EOS-series SLR cameras: the EF200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x. The company will display a mock-up sample of the lens at the comprehensive camera and photo imaging show CP+ from February 9 to 12 at PACIFICO YOKOHAMA Exhibition Hall, Japan.

Equipped with a 1.4x internal extender and high-performance Image Stabilizer, the Canon EF200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x is being developed as a super-telephoto L (luxury)-series lens encompassing Canon's optical technologies.

Through the incorporation of an internal 1.4x extender, the Canon EF200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x aims to deliver a high level of convenience in such fields as sports and nature photography by covering a zoom range from 200 mm wide angle to 560 mm telephoto. In addition, the new lens employs fluorite and other special optical materials to realize both high resolution and contrast contributing to high-image quality, and is designed to provide dust-proof and moisture-proof performance in the face of harsh shooting conditions.

Canon will continue to refine its optical technologies, striving to produce exceptional lenses that cater to the varying needs of photographers—from first-time users to advanced amateurs and professionals—while contributing to expanding the photographic possibilities for SLR cameras.

edit; DAMN! someone beat me to it :lol:

edit x2: funny how we POTN-er's have been dreaming of this lens for... years... ?

this sounds awesome. i bet its big and heavy and $6K -- but still going on my wish list. what an awesome compliment to the 70-200!


5D mark iii, EF-24-105mm f/4, EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM, Speedlite 580 EX II plus 3x Yongnuo 568EX, photoflex 60" white umbrella, Westcott Apollo Orb with grid

400mm on a 1.6x body is still 400mm. sensors do not change lens physics...

I not sure, but that would be a major jump in price form the ef 100-400, even the ef 70-200 2.8L only went form 1700 to 2500.

The Nikon 200-400/4 is $7000 so you can be sure this will cost at least as much.
