We looking at about R25000 (makes it double the cost of the Tamron) with a release date of this September - maybePJL wrote:Yes I have heard rumours for quite a long time about a new Canon 100-400... the problem is not knowing when it'll be released or how much it'll cost.Duke wrote:Thanks PJL.
Our Canon 100-400 lens is old and had a drop or two so we are in the market for a replacement. Will definitely consider the Tamron. Have heard Canon are busy upgrading the 100-400
Looks like a rotating zoom ring (it is push/pull now), New stabilizer system and lighter weight.

PJL how fast is it on continues focus when tracking a bird or moving object, does it keep focus or only now and then does it get it into focus??

Judging from some of the patents that Canon have filed recently there is definitely one on the cards, but I wasn't willing to wait too long, and as you say, the expected price is quite high unfortunately

I find that it is very good at tracking moving objects - and it is helped by selecting specific area focus points rather than all. However as I said I haven't yet had a chance to capture a bird-in-flight situation.... Addo was very windy last week so most birds were just hanging to branchesBushveld Jock wrote:PJL how fast is it on continues focus when tracking a bird or moving object, does it keep focus or only now and then does it get it into focus??

Interesting!
And, Duke, what do you consider old regarding a lens? I've had mine for 4 or 5 years now
and hope we'll still have lots of time together since those beasts don't come cheap.
