I am waiting for a "perfect" prime 400mm to use with my FF cameras since... decades! I have a 400 2,8L that weights more than a Harley and is imposible to go everywere carrying with it!
Having a 70-200 2,8 I preffer a long prime, because for susets, models in backlighting, technical and many other specialties, a zoom have less image quallity, being a logical option the 5,6L (lightweight, 77mm filters, strong construction...) but it has several lacs, that makes it not the final solution.
Canon is going to improve this lens... NEVER!!
Because it will canibalize the sales of other expensive lenses in the professional range, like 400/4 DO or the 400 2,8 L for 1/5 of the price.
They only have to tropicalize the lens, ad an IS, resize or change the unconfortable hood (that rotates when colapsed joint to the manual focus barrel... and -except for some women- put on/out the front cover when extended) and a closest focusing distance, a bit almost, half a meter please, will you??

Never for sure!!
Is very sad, yea!
...well the next generation units may have radiation perhaps?
Well, OK is a joke, sorry!!!!!
