Show me the contrast!

How good?

Show me the bokeh!

How funky?

Now I can afford the Mark I version!!!!

What does "camera shake compensation effect of the four stages" mean? Poor translation of something that means 4 stops IS?

Yes. The same info is written regarding the 24-105 IS STM so I'd imagine they're talking about 4 stops of IS.

Hope that works out for you. Prices on used MkI versions of the other superteles went up by ~$1K due to the uber-high announced MkII pricing.

The 300/2.8 IS I and the 400/2.8 have gone way down after the initial bump. I think Canon prices the IIs higher to move out the I inventory.

 

[vlim]

7500 € ?

 

[ULFULFSEN]

7500 € ?

4800-5800 euro and im in.

but the current is 6000 euro already.

Ya, first thing I checked too. Hmmm... I wonder if that's an error in the leak.

As long as you're willing to wait....

The weight is too close to the 300 2.8L IS II which is more versatile...

 

[liv_img]

Weight of version I was without tripod mount (that was removable). Weight of version II is with tripod mount (That now is fixed).

 

[lescrane]

my guess is "4 Stage IS" is not 4 stops, but 4 levels of sensitivity or algorithms. eg, Tripod mode, panning mode, etc etc. Probably will also be 4 stops...

Finally a big white lens, you are saying!
I will think about it.

I'm more than a little confused with this new lens...it's actually heavier than the outgoing model? Surely the whole point of a DO lens is that it's uber small and light. And Canon have made a heavier versions? Whaaaaat?

If you look at the 70-300 DO, the focus on small seemed to greatly trump any focus on light.

If the IQ is very good, this could be an interesting lens. 400/4, 560/5.6, 800/8 with teleconverters. A fairly lightweight lens too.
