Canon 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS II Design Idea

Re: Canon 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS II Leaked!!

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.

This is humorous! The lens is too short? It's a picture of a fake how do you know the dimensions? You're right about the tripod mount not working because again it's a fake. I don't know why people are upset about this post, kudos to you for doing something canon is hopefully doing making a lens people want! And if the weather is crappy don't go shoot, I can't wait for April for the first cars and coffee!!

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

Why does the silver band on the lens say 200mm? If you wanna fake people out, you need to do a MUCH better job.

It says "zoom" not 200mm if anything it says 100-400mm

So I take it quite a fair bit of CR doesn't take humour very well?
Come on guys the poster was just having fun and well it's fun to see people throw out ideas.
Stop criticising so harshly. It's only a picture.

+1 amen to that!

Image manipulation is a very important part of photography.... ability to use tools like photoshop is a great photography skill..... we learn by doing, and sometimes what we learn is not what we set out to learn.

Good for you!

Oh, didn't realize you could click for a larger version. I see ZOOM, but it doesn't say anything else...

The fixed hood is interesting. Not sure I'd go for that...

Thanks. I honestly don't see the problem with making this. I remember someone made a 24-70 f/2.8L IS or some zoom lens and it looked legit. Did he get battered on? No.

I'm a fresh member here at CR but many users seem too uptight. Go over to POTN where users seem much more friendly. Unless your all pissed because you were hoping the 100-400II was real.

The hood was meant to be detachable ;D But yet again it's a fake.

at least its got a lens hood as part of the package, a lot that canon could learn from on many lenses possibly

As far as I am aware, all "L" lenses come with a hood (if one can be used with the lens, anyway) and a pouch or other container. (The 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II comes with a very nice zip-up white semi-stiff-fabric carrying container.)

Also, some time ago on here, it emerged that in some markets (far-east, IIRC) at least some of the non-L lenses come with hoods, but not here in the UK.

Wasn't expecting so much hate... It's just something for fun and people take it so seriously, relax for god's sake.

Its not hate ... it is pure jealousy ... jealous that they couldn't come up with an equal or better idea. I thought your post was fun ... but I still feel April 1st would have been more fun, coz you would have made fools of a few jealous folk Cheers.

Didn't know there were so many photoGs without sense of humor. Lighten up! I still love this photo you made, send it canon.

I thought it was a fun post, and I like the creativity. you old fogies need to lighten up and remove the womens underwear from your back side .

 

[tomscott]

Jeese, its just some fun lighten up.

Especially didn't expect it from the more prolific posters and contributors like Neuro. Just poor if you ask me, you should know better.

Thats why I don't contribute much to this forum because its such a harsh environment. The BMW forum I belong to is so much more chilled and friendly and you can express anything without being bashed. But then its age range is probably higher and more mature.

BTW dont let these people get to you, playing is the best way of learning.

Its the Non L Series lenses I was meaning mainly......but I'm sure I cam across an article not so long ago on a site selling on eof the L Series lenses where the hood was extra

I fell for a fly by night grey market offer a while back...my 70-200 f/4 L came without hood...also I wasn't quick enough to follow up, so clearly my own fault. But got a good price and the lens was tack sharp...so no regrets. But I am told all major legitimate dealers include the hood on all L's here in the US regardless of US warranty or grey market.
