Does a kick in the grapes make people whine?

It has internal focusing, but it extends when you zoom. Two different things!

That's a negative?  So...you'd prefer a 'cooler' looking hood to one that's designed for optimal optical parformance?  Let me guess - in that other thread, you listed the cool-looking distinctive white color of the lens as an advantage, right?  (note that because the lens has no fluorite elements, there's no reason - other than 'cool-looking' aka marketing - for the lens to be white)

Why no interest in the current 100-400mm?  IMO, it's a very good lens. Could it use an update, especially the IS system?  Yes, but it's certainly no slouch optically (it bests the 300/4 IS + 1.4x).
