Hmm... This is where the hobby of photography stops for me. Got a master's degree to pay for!
They just couldn't issue an upgraded 100-400? Aside from Cary, who will own one?
For that price tag, not me ! I will stick to my 100-400
Wow, that is significantly more expensive than the Nikon version. I'm sure it's an incredible lens
From what I've been reading this morning, the target market is professional sports and wildlife photographers who shoot with a range of long primes. However, I'm sure its just a matter of a short amount of time before a spotter at least rents one.
Supposedly the only thing holding back the upgraded 100-400L was that this lens hadn't been released yet. Of course there have been rumors of an upgrade for years abnd it has yet to happen.

My jaw dropped when I saw that price! I am sure it'll be an amazing piece of glass. However, I will stick with my 100-400. I would be better off by getting a 2x converter. I can bump my ISO up to 6,400 and still get a perfectly acceptable photo. I would have to become a drug dealer on the side to pay for that.
As soon as our local camera shop gets one (which they say will be shortly) I intend to rent it and take it to the airport in addition to a few sports games :-)However, I'm sure its just a matter of a short amount of time before a spotter at least rents one.
