If Canon ever made a 100-400L F2.8 IS it would be insanely heavy and expensive.

The current Canon 400mmL F2.8 IS Prime lens costs £5.5k
i was wondering what lens he was talking aboiut

the real problem with the 'old' 100-400 IS (L series) is that it might have some 'tunneling' effect near 100 mm... but being an L series, i'd guess its pretty low.

how do you like your set of lenses SDK? it seems you usually carry 2 cameras with you... which would be nice, i have to admit... no need to change lenses while out...
I don't use my second camera body much, I only bought it as a backup for my Pro wedding photography.

The Canon 400mm F2.8 L IS is a gem of a lens, I will probably sell my 100-400L in a couple of years for one.
