Just spotted this lens sold in a London shop for £3450 inc hood and flight bag and warranty - from the photos it seemed fairly described as exc++.
For a used Canon 500/4 - current model in the same condition - the current asking price would be a lot higher.
Surprising particularly as the 400/2.8 has a lot more glass and has the extra stop to freeze the action.
The current 500/4 is a bit lighter but certainly no lightweight.
Perhaps because there are a lot more 400/2.8s around and owners are upgrading to the latest version - available now.
Maybe we can expect a drop in price for used 500/4s when the new model comes available in May - allegedly?
Both are very nice lenses to catch fast moving objects but I am guessing you would get more keepers with the 400/2.8.
And with 1.4X TC I am also guessing that 560/4 images would be better than 700/5.6? Anybody out there who has used/tried out both lenses with a TC?
