Re: The rumored 100-400 replacement
$1600 is up there, but maybe it's up against the physics of the cost. Seems a little strange that they could sell the DO version for $1250, but not this. IQ better be off the chart! I agree I'd rather spend $1200 on a 70-200/4LIS, but that's me, I'm not a fan of f/5.6 lenses. If it was 100-300 f/4, I'd be excited about it.… -
Re: The rumored 100-400 replacement
I COULD give you my opinion on when and if Canon will upgrade/replace the older 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS lens but, I would probably be dead wrong! I was a guy who said that Canon would never release a 70-200mm f/4L IS lens because it would bite into the sales of the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS lens. I was a guy who innocently expected… -

Re: The rumored 100-400 replacement
70-300 I'm not so sure about that, the old lens is pretty sharp. I suspect there will be a lot of soul searching before people part with more than twice the price (unless they have "L" fever). That being said, i sold a 70-300 to get a 100-400 . I had some good pics from the 70-300 but needed the extra length. -
Re: The rumored 100-400 replacement
I never really got the new 70-300... if it was f4 it'd be nice, but that would take sales away from the 70-200... but with 5.6 at 300mm doesn't it make more sense to get a 100-400... is 30mm wider worth 100mm less on the long end? Just doen't make much sense to me, Canon already has a plethora of 70-300s, plus all the 3rd… -
Re: The rumored 100-400 replacement
Everybody here raise your hands if you requested the 70-300mm L. (No hands go up.) Raise your hand if you requested an upgraded 100-400L (F4 would be nice). (Everybody's hands go up.) Raise your hand if you requested the Print button on your camera body. (Crickets chirping...) Raise your hand if you requested sRAW1 and… -
Re: The rumored 100-400 replacement
Wide open, at maximum aperture it is soft. It sharpens a bit at f8 but requires f11 to really call it sharp. I was never really super happy using it on crop 1.3x and crop 1.6x bodies, but it's really nice on the 5D MKII. It is also reasonably quick to focus on the 5D MKII, thankfully. I used it for a fly-in this summer and… -
Re: The rumored 100-400 replacement
I would really love to see a first rate 150-400 f4 IS that compares with Nikon's 200-400 VR, and I am certain, that there are a whole lot of Canon shooters who feel just as I do. The Nikon 200-400 VR is a reason that some folks abandon Canon for the Nikon world. This is especially true for wildlife shooters. The only other… -
Re: The rumored 100-400 replacement
The sRAW files really are a nice option for many professional photographers doing wedding and event work because the candids don't need to be anything more. As David_S85 mentioned it also allows you to leverage the same camera for personal use when you only need the smaller files. The primary reason you won't find…
