OP seems to have one camera so that would cause lens change more often. Still it remains an interesting combination...Right now, I am planning to bring my 70-200 f/4 IS, my 24-104, and my 17-40.
Do you really need to fill that 40-70mm gap? 17-40L + 70-200/4L IS could be enough.
If they produce a 100-400 that's a "twist" and is as light and small as my 70-200 F/4 IS with 4 stop IS and IQ as good as what we've got now, and if the price is less than $2000, I would jump. But, that is impossible form an engineering and design and financial perspective.If I were to just guess (I obviously have NO inside information) I would say that it would look like the bigger (and heavier) brother of 70-300L ... Now the price would be higher too...
I find it extremely hard to sell Lenses I no longer use so much, almost like selling my Children.I understand what you mean.
Maybe because it would be the equivalent of much more mm (actually 640) on a 1.6x crop body and some need it?EF-S 400 4 IS
Why not try the EF 300mm f/4L IS, as it is the equivalent of 480mm on a 1.6x crop body?
if you have sources to tell you that there are prototypes.+1
why don´t they tell you at least if it is a push-pull design or not?
or is a push-pull design tested and a "normal" design?
See now I have a dilemma...I have been saving my money to purchase the 400mm 2.8 for the past couple of years and I'm about $1500 off from paying straight cash for it. I am planning to have it by the time fall rolls around for some high school football action. Now with this lens finally becoming a reality I wonder should I just go ahead go for this or just go ahead and pull the trigger on the 400 since I've been saving for it for so long...Unless you will need less than 400mm I cannot see why you must change plans.
Decisions, decisions...
Am wondering what gear we all want that is not being manufactured yet but we wish it were.This may not quite impossible judging from Tamron's AF 28-105MM F/2.8 LD Aspherical (IF)
I start:
A focusing screen (for cameras that accept interchangeable screens eg 1dx and 5d2) with proper split screen focusing aid. This will help me use Zeiss lenses better and focus manually Canon lenses in low light etc.
And, if I could: 24-105 f2.8 IS with good corner sharpness. This will be my ultimate travel lens.
Thank you.
If you shooting with FF, it is almost a no brainer to take 24-70 II over 3 non-L primes+1
