I'm still going to hold out for a 600mm f/4 L IS II. Its only $1200 more, for 2.25x more subject magnification.

A 7d and a 300/4 for even less is an option, kinda.  I'm not a wildlife shooter, but if you're birding do you really need to zoom back to 200mm on a $11799 lens?  It seems most wildlife shooters I see are toting a 600/4 and TCs combination.  I've used my 200/2 on the odd bird if I'm out shooting kid pics, and I can tell you 200 is too short for any bird in the wild, works well for tame deer, but useless for timid tiny birds.

I'm always shooting F1.2-1.4 at close range, so I over run it a little.

With Nikon offering a 24-120, perhaps that's what Canon has their eyes on instead. And, if so, how much will it be?

One million dollarzz. Muhahahahahaha

Would this work with current bodies?  Maybe there is a new body-only feature to come in the future.

I have one of the first 5D3s on the market.  I running the original firmware.  Do I need to update to each firmware to get to the latest, or can I jump right to the last version.  Also, how exactly do I update the firmware?  How do I get it on to the CF card without a card reader?
