Yep. I got the email as well only this time, I bit the bullet. I should see it sometime later in the week. Now I just have to wait for the weather to turn nice to enjoy it.

I just bit the bullet too. Have heard too many good things about this lens to not do so. Time to list 400 5.6 and tamron 150-600.

You guys will love it!! If you have an f/8 capable body (even one of the centre point only ones) the 1.4TCIII is a must have accessory for that lens. It is hands down the best zoom available in that range from any manufacturer.

I sold off the Sigma 150-600C after a couple months shooting it beside the 100-400II. Getting rid of the 400/5.6 and the Tamron is a good plan. You will not miss them once you start using the 100-400II.

Got mine, too.....after a little effort! Credit card flagged it as potentially fraudulent so they turned it down at first, so I had to call them up and clear things!!

Still in stock and CanonPriceWatch listed that they had 20+ copies when the sale started last night. Sale ends Feb 21st but I doubt they will last that long. So lots more opportunity for Saturday morning shoppers

Not that spending ~ $1600 on a camera lens is a decision to take lightly, but for most photographers interested in the nature and wildlife genres, this is arguably the most versatile and useful lenses.

I agree. My biggest focal lengths up to this point were 70-200 and 300 4. Renting this lens last year opened up a whole new door to photography. I feel poorer but more excited.😀

Thanks. That'll teach me to wander off to the Canon Forum.

I would actually like to rent this one or get a loaner from CPS to see if I like it. The close MFD is appealing, not so sure about the higher (smaller) minimum aperture though.

Well, if 7 of 9 was an included accessory, I wouldn't resist

Well, if the 100-400 II was an f/4 lens, then you'd have to pay at least 5x as much for it.
The MFD is certainly a big draw of 100-400 II, but so is its IQ thruout the FL range, as well as a very agile AF drive. Moreover, the lens works well with 1.4xTC, and it is compact and light. Hard to find a flaw with the lens, other than the foot and the hood (window), both of which can be easily replaced.

I suspect that if Canon could deliver a 100-400 f/4 at 5x the cost of the 100-400 VII, it would sell well.

At this price, even if you factor in tax, it's still way cheaper than MSRP and around, if not lower, than a lot of used ones on the bst. So you could buy it, try it, and if you don't like it, sell it for almost no out of pocket expense. They even have payment options through PayPal, if that's an issue like it was for me, to make it even easier!

They already do if you can forgive the lack of 100-200mm and let the option of 280-560 f/5.6 make up for it

https://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/ef-200-400mm-f-4l-is-usm-extender-1-4x-refurbished-lens

$7919 USD = 5x $1583 USD down to the 3rd decimal
