Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM Lens In Stock

B&H has the Canon’s EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM Telephoto lens in stock and ready to ship for $12,999 (click here). Limited quantity.

Product description:

Canon’s EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM Telephoto Lens has all the upgrades needed to make it the go-to super long telephoto lens for professional photographers and anyone who has the highest standards for the gear they use.

First and foremost, image sharpness is enhanced with fluorite optics that deliver reduced chromatic aberration. The lighter weight (3 lbs lighter due to magnesium and titanium construction elements) is always welcome in very large telephoto lenses. Using 3 IS (Image Stabilization) modes allows you to shoot at shutter speeds 4 stops slower, and the advanced third IS mode activates only when the shutter button is fully pressed, so you can pan with fast-moving subjects without the IS function interfering with composition and framing.

Dust and water sealing keeps the lens functioning even in less than ideal conditions, and a Power Focus mode allows smooth focus change while shooting video.

Is Canon Set To Release A New 4/3 Sensor Body? (Update)

Update: A friendly reader (thanks!) told me that the patent doesn’t refer to a 4/3 ratio but to a sensor with a 4/3 inch diagonal.

I am still puzzled by the Canon patent I wrote about yesterday, a patent referring to two lenses for a 4/3 format sensor: a 14-28mm f/1.4-2.4 and a 12-28mm f/2-3.2 lens. Since the only Canon camera sporting a 4/3 ratio sensor is the Powershot G1X I am wondering what is going on. Is Canon planning to release an interchangeable lens camera with 4/3 ratio sensor? Anyone?
