Willem (I like that, a Japanese site quoting euro-prices....:)) Jan
I think those prices are wishful thinking, even if the lens specs are
true. A 100-400/4 IS lens for 1200Eur?? Not too likely, nor that
price for the 400/4.
I would love a 400/4 at a lower price than the DO, and hopefully
better performance.
The 10-24/2.8 would certainly be an EF-S lens; the others probably not.
Rather than a 10-24 EFS, how about a 16-35, possible f/4, that has
better performance? Or a 14/4; or a 20/2.8 that works??
IS in any lens is attractive. The 24-105 gets me many shots that I
couldn't with out IS.

was with that lens, at 1/4 sec in a crowd of people at night where I
wouldn't have been able to use a tripod.
With a 10-24 lens with IS, I would be able to get good handheld
results at 1 sec consistently.
