Further details supposedly "later this year". But this confirms what was rumoured previously.
I'm not sure how I feel about this lens....I'm happy with my 300PF with 1.7TC which gives me a 500 f/6.7 lens and surely will be a smaller package than this lens will be. Still I also like to use Auto AF mode for fast BIF and I can't use that mode with the 300/1.7....that alone would be the reason I'd consider this lens...but I'm still not sure...if it is significantly smaller/lighter/easier to handhold and has faster AF than the 200-500 then that will help make a case for it....
