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

You need more hobbies bro. Clearly photography is not enough

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

Well the weather is shite and i've got a week off so figured I would create this.
Always felt like doing an imaginary 100-400 II because of the wait.

Re: waste of time

It's quite an engaging hobby, lots of possibilities.

What a stupid, misleading post.

You are a Mean,Mean Man! You fooled me with your post. :-[
I am reading reviews of the 100-400 Mark l and have decided to wait for the Mark ll to come out. It will cost more than $2,500.00 and won't come down in price till at least 2 years after it comes out. It will be a sweet lens that will make a lot of people happy. I'll keep using the 1.4 ll and the 2X ll Extender with my 70-200 F4 IS USM till then. I am going to try mounting the 2X and lens on my tripod and use Live View,Manual Focus and cable release to see if I can improve my results over handheld. What I want to shoot is sometimes just a bit out of my reach. ;D

Good job on creating a Dummy of the 100-200 Mark ll lens. It might look like your pic when it comes out.

A better version with a hood will be posted soon...

And the EF 100-400 L IS II designer of the award goes to Jan ... but you "leaked" it too early ... this would have been more appropriate if you waited for a month and posted it on the 1st of April

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

1. It would be nice to have the word "faked" in the title - "leaked" is at least misleading ...
2. It's a simple (and untrustworthy) fake because it is basically a 2.8 70-200 II. A 100-400 dual ring zoom will have totally different dimensions and the 1.2 m minimum focusing distance doesn't make sense for 400mm focal length - you won't get a real image.
3. With 300 $/€ lenses a faked leak is o.k., but with 1000 or 2000 bucks lenses it might hurt ... whose who decided for a 100-400 mark I or a 5.6 400mm prime.

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.

I made a new version, changed in the original post...
I also changed the tittle that was very misleading.

The weather is NEVER too bad to shoot.

That was a pretty harsh CR style beatdown Neuro. Take it easy on the poor kid.

Yup! It engages all of you AND your bank account

1) Yet another reason why we need to bring back Karma ratings;
2) Somebody has too much time on his hands;
3) The tripod ring would never work;
4) Given the anticipated cost of the II version, I'm not sure I care what it may look like.

 

[Aeronut]

I like it Jan. It is nice to have some fun for a change, especially when living in the UK.
Please make me a real one.

 

[RS2021]

He is just a teen having some fun...no need to be too harsh in the comments.
I think his original title was misleading and was in poor taste, but he took the comments and changed the title...so I have no problems with the post as it stands now. Also, he took the input on what the zoom may look like and seems to have made changes (agreed, still very fake looking...but it is still an effort...fake pictures, however rudimentary, still take effort) ...lets not stifle creativity.

Good try Jan, I am afraid the zoom is going to look a lot stubbier than your sample...hope ya enjoyed the photoshopping

 

[G650ER]

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

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