The EF 70-300L and 100-400L II have the same design, as do the standard (24/28-xx) L zooms for RF and EF.The telescoping zoom design don't convince me too much.
I’m certainly wrong on this, but I have always considered telescopic zooms as cheap compromises. Dust filtration and solidity are among my fears with that kind of lenses.The EF 70-300L and 100-400L II have the same design, as do the standard (24/28-xx) L zooms for RF and EF.
I don't see how it is much cheaper to manufacture, but the ease of storing in a bag seems to be a preference among many here. Personally, with a few "critical" lenses such as the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, I don't mind needing some extra space to accommodate a more dust and weather resistant design, but Canon has a different agenda from any individual photographer!I’m certainly wrong on this, but I have always considered telescopic zooms as cheap compromises.

It means they can make a better lens for less money. How is that bad?I’m certainly wrong on this, but I have always considered telescopic zooms as cheap compromises. Dust filtration and solidity are among my fears with that kind of lenses.
As long as they don't make it to the sensor . . .Not all that worried about a few dust specs.
I am sure it has been posted but worth re-posting

Removing a Fly from ‘Weather Sealed’ Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II
I've been doing lens stuff for a long time now. Long time. Trust me; it's hard to remain polite the 843,911th time some newbie goes into hysterics because there's dust in their lens. Telling them it doesn't matter a bit, and that all their other lenses have dust they just can't see ( because...www.lensrentals.com
The smiley doesn‘t „mean“ so much at all.What is a smiley supposed to mean in the context of calling something a scheme?
Canon is trying to offer a product that competes well in a saturated market. What do you want them to do, give it away for free?
All of which follows Uncle Roger's "Law of Zoom Relativity", even when they're not wide angle zooms.First samples of IQ on the 70-200 are up on TDP.

Closer but I'd say the 70-200 has slightly better corners.
I bought one of the very first 100-400 II zooms, used it often in dusty and wet environments (Northern American deserts, Wales and Scotland), and don't have any dust or fungus issues...Oh well after seeing the telescopic zoom of the RF 70-200 2.8 L, well... I can see dust specs everywhere! that was my experience with the EF 100-400 mk II.
Cool, let us know what you think if/when time allows. Are you going to be using it with an R or an RP?Hello all,
