New tidbits about the still not released Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS 1.4x.

Canon Rumors reports:

I spoke to someone at NAB last week about the yet-to-be-officiall-announced EF 200-400mm f/4L IS 1.4x. I was told that the lens is now “expected to arrive in the fall of 2013. The design and functionality of the lens are set, Canon is now waiting for the manufacturing process to be finalized so production can begin”.

I got to hold and play with the 200-400 a bit last week, and I must say the weight of it shocked me. It’s going to be pretty close to the EF 600 f/4L IS II. I’m sure everything else about the lens is top notch, as we’re still being told to expect a price north of $10,000 USD.

Time ago there was a hands-on video about the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS 1.4x, I repost it here.

It has yet to be announced, we are waiting for it since long, but photographer Joshua Holko had the exclusive chance to preview the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4 IS with built-in 1.4x teleconverter. The video has been published at Luminous Landscape.
