I'm sure happy with my new 100-400 ... Loved the version 1 also, but this one is worth the extra cost!

* After reading the thread about the insert that pulled out of the factory foot.... I'm ordering a replacement ASAP!

All I can say is I hope the lens is put together better than the foot is. I'd like to order this to replace my 100-400, but I think I'll wait until the availablity is a bit better.
Good thing is the older one is still less than half the price on the used market, so for less than half you can own one almost as good as one costing over twice as much.
Now thats a bargain !

Looking at my 70-200 IS II now it looks like it has an insert as well. Never had any trouble with it and I've got my RRS plate pretty tightly turned. I'm not a tripod user though.

The foot is an anomaly. Check the title of Roger C.'s recent "teardown" article,

Canon 100-400 IS L Mk II Teardown: Best Built Lens Ever?
http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2015/02/canon-100-400-is-l-mk-ii-teardown-best-built-lens-ever

I've had mine since mid-December 2014, and it's a super product. I rarely use the foot. In fact, it's stashed in the pocket of a bag so it's around just in case I might need it. The current RRS, Kirk, and 4th Gen Design foots are all too "tall" for my taste (for this lens), and so I'll stick with the Canon foot (with RRS plate), unless a real "low profile" foot comes out someday.

Not what I've seen fron Quality Control in the last few years, but then again a lot of people seem to be unaware of quality these days. It works awhile , then throw it away and buy another one.

I noticed that the lens is now listed as a Pre-order only at B&H. I placed an order yesterday at 5:30 PM EDT while it was still listed as in-stock. What are my chances that my order will be filled on April 13 when they reopen? Reason I ask is that it seems many have been waiting several weeks or more to get their order filled. I'm not sure I can stand that much anticipation ...

I'm not sure I'd consider a single case that seems like it was caused by user error (over-torquing the bolt) as some kind of indictment of Canon's quality control. I've owned a number of lenses with the exact same tripod screw insert in them and none have broken. I'm sure any number of peeps here could say the same (the same insert is used in pretty much every 1/4-20 mount on every tripod foot I've ever seen from Canon... it's also identical to the handle 1/4-20 thread on my C100 and C100 Mark II video cameras.

If anything their track record on lenses has gotten better. Their latest releases have outstanding IQ and you don't seem to hear nearly as much about copy variation.

I like your ducky, Lucky.
The water colour is peachy, and it coordinates well with the duck's green head patch. Very clever.
(Only one suggestion: back off the exposure pedal a bit.)

Hey PetKal!

Your advice is much appreciated... In fact the past day I have been experimenting with the light meter ... My main setting has been "AV" and I have often found spot metering to be on the bright side...
As an admitted slow learner...I am reading the manuel over and over ...just trying to absorb and retain the info!

And ...I'm sure anyone who buys this new version 100-400 will never regret the decision!

Traded up from version 1 and rarely ever been so happy with a new lens. A few shots from the first couple of days at http://www.digitaldaydreaming.com/100-400samples and perhaps my highest Airshow keepr rate a couple of weeks ago at http://www.digitaldaydreaming.com/la_airshow with a 7D II.
