Had me going until I saw the box reads "lens hood included". Canon would sell that separately.

Great first post. Welcome to canonrumors.

You did not need to go in such trouble. You could just mention the EF100-400mm L lens successor post. There is a rumor for this lens every year ;D ;D ;D

 

[tron]

Or you could just say: 35mm 1.4L II ;D ;D ;D

If only you could fit a 600mm L lens in a LP1319 case, and get the same IQ etc ........ ;D

This is REALLY annoying!!!!

Every rumor of this lens said it would be f/2.0. What the hell happened?

I'm sending a letter to my Japanese Senator!!!

Pah. They should have added IS and TS for that price. I'm going to Nikon

I can see a typo here. It is 16-1600. Hence no f2...

The weight is also missing a "0" and the length is all wrong... :

 

[J.R.]

LOL, I guess the most important aspect missing here is the price!

 

[mrsfotografie]

Ah, we've been waiting for this particular lens for ages! ;D

With 'L' lenses they're usually included

 

[Stewbyyy]

Pretty small box for what would be a huge lens.

 

[sandymandy]

U just gotta assemble part of the lens urself, it keeps the price low!

 

[danski0224]

What is a fluoride element? Weight savings?

That's a good first of April L-for-LOL-Lens ;D
