Preorder: Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date

That's a good point ... Canon's recent lens releases have been great, even if expensive. It's a good sign when we can fully expect a new lens to be awesome. Still, I will wait for reviews (and possible sale prices) mostly because I'm in no great need for this.

Aden Camera seems to be the first Canadian site with a listing - $2400
I pre-ordered mine from Aden first thing this morning. At that time they didn't even have a price yet. I firmly believe this lens is going to rock.

Another +1 from Amazon. As others, been wanting one for a long time but kept waiting for this one VS the 'old' one.

My time to spend money. Ordered it two days ago.
My dealer wouldn't even commit to my order until today.
I just sold my 5D2 and 16-35 f/2.8 V.1. Now I have to sell my pretty darn sharp 100-400 V.1. I have picked up the newer 16-35 f/4 and the 7D MK II. Talk about turnover in the 4th quarter. I really hadn't made any changes in a couple of years though.
I'm buying from my go-to source in MA, W.B. Hunt. They've always treated me right so I keep going back to them. I'm not even remotely what you would call a big client for them but they're always good to me.
In the meantime, got to test the new lens and camera body for all they're worth. We have lots of snowy landscapes here in the Rockies right now so that might be the way to go.
Go Canon, you making me happy this year!

And that's for a device that has a life of at most a year, vs. 5-10 years with a lens, and that was already obsolete 6 months before it was released by the latest Android phone.
I've been waiting for this lens for nearly a decade, I would totally camp out for one if I had the cash on hand.

I just e-mailed 3 stores here in Australia asking if they had prices and a delivery date yet, they have all got back to this morning me saying they have no information about this lens yet.
Cue the crickets and rolling tumble weed.

That's the first I've heard of a delivery date. My Christmas purchases are already getting too expensive. When the credit card bills come in next January, its going to hurt. I never carry a balance or buy on credit, so I'll have to scrape it up.

UK sites were slow with this, WEX now have it listed at £1999 (so about $3200 US). Clearly someone at Canon UK is having a laugh!
Will of course come down but you wonder how many will pre-order at this price, maybe gives some of those with the MKi some time to offload at a reasonable price though
