While I agree with the switches being in a better location, you have more hands on experience than most other posters with long lenses here and expect you will provide many wonderful photos for us.
I doubt Canon will oblige, but who knows?
Thank you, Tapeman.
I thought that in the MkI long lenses the focusing distance limiter switch was in an appropriate location on the barrel. That also goes for 800L. Then, starting with 200 f/2 IS and onward, Canon rearranged the lens switch panel(s).
In doing so, I am not sure if they had fully appreciated the necessity of switching the limiter back and forth in a dynamic kind of a shooting scenario where targets change their distance and/or their movement type, from slow (such as swimming) to fast (such as flight) and v.v..
Who knows, perhaps someone from Canon will make a note of this issue, because they do scan various major Canon photography forums.
