Since currently my longest lens is the 70-200 (+1.4x extender) I am considering getting something around 400mm or beyond within this next year.
I have been thinking about the options already available and also what might come up within the next months.
I am still hoping that Canon can update the 100-400 and maybe come up with a 500 or 600 f5.6, as I am trying to avoid the older lenses (400 5.6 and the 100-400).
However the most recent rumors seem to point in other directions, so we probably won't see these babies any time soon.
I am starting to psych myself into saving up and maybe waiting until next year and then choose between the 300 2.8 II + 2x extender and the newly anounced EF 200-400, also depending on the price/weight of this last one. But I am finding it tough to spend that much on a single lens.
What other options do you guys think are worth considering ?
Anyone has experience with the Sigma 120-300 2.8 ?
Based on the specs available and if the prices end up being similar would you prefer the 300 2.8 II (with the 2x and 1.4x extenders) or the 200-400 ?
