It\'s an interesting notion that Canon would release such a versatile product that could potentially kill a very large portion of their big glass market...namely 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600. Am I missing something here or did the price of the above pieces just become affordable for us non-owners in the used marketplace ?
There\'ll always be a market for the primes. Leaving out the 400 DO (which will likely remain at least a pound lighter and quite a bit more compact), you still gain one f/stop at the long end and up to two f/stops at the short end.
Plus almost certainly the primes will work better with the TCs, if the zoom even accepts TCs. I strongly supect this lens will be like the 70-300L, and not take Canon\'s teleconverters. (Canon has never officially supported the stacking of its teleconverters, and I rather doubt we\'ll see it now.)
