A new patent for an EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 STM has appeared. Also in the patent is the EF-S 55-250 f/4-5.6 IS STM, so this patent is probably just covering an additional optical formula that will not become a product. I'd think any 100-400 replacement will be an L lens with an Ultrasonic Motor instead of an STM.
