Canon 200-400mm supertele lens due this year -- maybe







Canon's 200-400m f/4L IS lens has a large objective lens -- but not as large as the brighter 400mm f/2.8 lens Canon also sells.

COLOGNE, Germany -- A year and a half ago, Canon announced it was working on a 200-400mm telephoto zoom lens with a built-in 1.4X extender. But since then, there's been nary a peep.




Well, there's a peep now, Canon shooters jealous of Nikon's 200-400mm will be pleased to know.




The plan is to release it this year, said Mike Owen, communications manager for Canon's professional imaging department in Europe. He spoke at a Canon press conference yesterday at the Photokina show here.
