I don't know... Their picture of the lion looks underexposed. I heard you lose some light using the extender... Not worth more than 11,000 in my opinion... :)
I love the way the review makes immediate mention of the fact that Canon actually include a tripod mount and lens hood for your $11K. Rare for them to be so 'generous'. :)
I have the 100-400. I would have definitely bought the new one if only it was a 100-400 f4. But since it's the 200-400, that leaves a hole from the 100-200 range. So it's just not worth it. They just don't want my $12,000, otherwise they would have considered my needs!! Such a thoughtless company. :D
Geez that thing is amazingly more expensive than the Nikon equivalent. Any idea on how the "on/off" extender functions? The article is pretty sparse on that...
I'm wondering if this mightn't be really aimed at the growing market of movies shot on "still" cameras -- even in an independent film's budget $12K isn't that huge an item ...
