The first specs of Canon’s upcoming EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II lens leaked at Digicame-info (translated).

This is a substantial evolution of the previous model. The EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II adopts a brand new lens coating (ASC), which is machine-translated to Air Sphere coating, and should reduce lighting artefacts. The minimum focusing distance is 0.98m vs 1.8m of the predecessor.
