p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · canon 100-400mm ii misprints ?


canon 100-400 mm has 150 off doing a google search = screen dump
[ hope I did it right - posting ] Anyway Canon may be trying to move
attention away from the Tamron that no one has in stock . Canon had refurb 100-400 mm's
for about the same as the Tammy . I am going to wait and try the 150-600 , If it sucks as
bad for me as others [ I mostly shoot flowers ] , I will wait for the canon 100-400mm ii .

Are you sure ?

Just below search
You could be right and this is to stop people from buying the Tamron 150-600 which no one has in stock .

Link has no such thing. Probably "fixed" by now.

Did anyone (OP?) get a screen capture of the image of the lens?

Just checked and enlarged screen dump - read what is in red about middle of page


Not sure that tells us anything other than the fact that someone did a search for that phrase.

There is a very burry one here - maybe the 100-400 II

A blurry photo that shows nothing definitive and that looks a lot like this Sony 70-200 lens:

In case you have not noticed, retailers commonly print ads about non-existent cameras and lenses, as well as cameras and lenses that are no longer produced. It gets people to click on those ads to take them to something else they want to peddle to you.

If you believe every ad you see, you need to have your head examined.

It says "Term searched for". Reverse SEO trickery to lure more people to the site. It's what online retailers (and everyone who wants a lot of traffic to their site) do.

??
It looks like all you did is search on some terms and then it came back with the 400 2.8 II and the current 100-400.

I am going to test the 150-600 1st . I am glad Canon and Tamron [ Canon with the II maybe
and Tamron trying to fix 150-600 ] woke up . Tamron has to fix the 150-600 before Canon
announces the 100-400 II or people might wait . Same with Canon , If Tamron fixes the
150-600 , why would newbee's pay more for less FL ?


Some people, such as yours truly, prefer a higher IQ in the 100-400 or 80-400 range. 150-600 is a different lens.

I was searching for the 100-400 price . Refurb price on Canon site
really close to 150-600 - but out of stock . This was on Canon's site
in red like they wanted you to read .

EBH - -
When I got the 70-200 mk II - I felt the same - compared the 70-200 to the 100-400
from 100-200 in store - the 70-200 won and was about 600 more . From what I had read
the 2x III would bring the 70-200 to 400 mm without much IQ loss . In good light - AF is
fine with that combo . The less light , the slower the AF [ for those who don't know - raising
ISO does not speed up AF .

mitesh - - I don't know much about Sony except their service dept sucks and they screwed
me a couple of times - screw me once , shame on you twice - shame on me -- I am a slow learner
Nice shot tho

^^^ I was just showing you that the blurry photo you referenced looks a lot like that sony lens. I don't care about sony, just trying to downplay the significance of rumors and anonymous tips. We will all know about the new 100-400 when Canon is good and ready to tell us about it, and likely not a minute sooner

Right now I am waiting for the 150-600 . I really don't know what I would do if
Canon Announced a new / II version of the 100-400 especially if it would take
the 2X III . AF /IS is - are nice but about 20 to 50 % of time I am in live view
anyway , so if it fit gave me 800 mm , it would be a hard choice if less than
about 2000 .
I think a lot of people would be in same boat . I am not a fan of any Tamron lens
and while not at bottom of list , I gave away the 2 tammies I had . Right now I
have 3 Siggy's - the 180 macro I seldom use , the 70-300 macro used a little more
and the 135-400 that lives on the XTI . Before the 150-600 came out , I had told
the wife I was going to get the mp-e 65 before we went to Mexico in August - now
it is the tammy maybe .
