Sorry guys, it's a fake that I created
Although maybe the MKII will look something like this!

And the point of this thread is.....?

Trolls gonna troll, I guess.

You need more hobbies bro. Clearly photography is not enough

[Jan Jasinski]

Well the weather is shite and i've got a week off so figured I would create this.
Always felt like doing an imaginary 100-400 II because of the wait.

You could always try some photography.

It's quite an engaging hobby, lots of possibilities.

What a stupid, misleading post.

[greger]

You are a Mean,Mean Man! You fooled me with your post.
I am reading reviews of the 100-400 Mark l and have decided to wait for the Mark ll to come out. It will cost more than $2,500.00 and won't come down in price till at least 2 years after it comes out. It will be a sweet lens that will make a lot of people happy. I'll keep using the 1.4 ll and the 2X ll Extender with my 70-200 F4 IS USM till then. I am going to try mounting the 2X and lens on my tripod and use Live View,Manual Focus and cable release to see if I can improve my results over handheld. What I want to shoot is sometimes just a bit out of my reach.

Good job on creating a Dummy of the 100-200 Mark ll lens. It might look like your pic when it comes out.

A better version with a hood will be posted soon...

And the EF 100-400 L IS II designer of the award goes to Jan ... but you "leaked" it too early ... this would have been more appropriate if you waited for a month and posted it on the 1st of April

1. It would be nice to have the word "faked" in the title - "leaked" is at least misleading ...
2. It's a simple (and untrustworthy) fake because it is basically a 2.8 70-200 II. A 100-400 dual ring zoom will have totally different dimensions and the 1.2 m minimum focusing distance doesn't make sense for 400mm focal length - you won't get a real image.
3. With 300 $/€ lenses a faked leak is o.k., but with 1000 or 2000 bucks lenses it might hurt ... whose who decided for a 100-400 mark I or a 5.6 400mm prime.

Sorry, but the attempt is pretty lame.  If you're going to put up a fake 100-400, your fake should show focal length markings somewhere.  No numbers around the zoom ring?  More importantly, you're showing a non-extending zoom and it's too short to be 400mm (unless it's a DO lens, in which case you've got the wrong color stripe).  Better luck next time.

I made a new version, changed in the original post...
I also changed the tittle that was very misleading.

The weather is NEVER too bad to shoot.

That was a pretty harsh CR style beatdown Neuro. Take it easy on the poor kid.
