Pre-order You FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS Tomorrow

BTW, I ordered mine last week and I've already sold my EF 500mm f/4L IS II for $400 more than I paid for it a few years ago. I also sold my 500mm series I for a small profit. These super-telephoto lenses really do have an "investment" quality to them. They've turned out to be the least expensive part of my photography business, except for cost of capital.

Congratulations, DCSTEP. The 400/2.8 makes sense for the kind of wildlife photography you do. I place a value on "fun factor" as a supplement to commercial use, but $12K would be a stretch. It appears you are keeping your 100-400 GM, which is still on my short list.

Thanks Ed.

 

Yes, the 100-400mm, with both the 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverter is incredible. Here's a shot from yesterday, with the 2.0x:
