Where did you read that the 400/2.8L IS II has two fluorite elements? The Canon USA website indicates only one, if I am to understand the symbol correctly.
On the specifications page. On the \'overview\' page it only shows one and no UD.
Lens Construction: 16 elements in 12 groups (Including drop-in rear filter, Fluorite: G2 and G4, UD Lens: None)
Not as good as the 800/5,6
Actually, the 400/2.8 IS II with the new 2x TC might be as good or better than the 800. There is no way of telling atm.
I was talking about \"how many fluorite & UD glass\" it had.
yes keep on dreaming if you think a super-tele with
a 2x will be better than another without extender.
Lars, my point was wait for the lens to actually come out. According to Canon the 2xIII is supposed to be a large improvement over the 2xII and the 400/2.8 II also appears to be improved. You never know.
