Accessories For The Canon 200-400 F4 L IS

I ordered the Canon 200-400 F4 L IS the minute it was finally announced and as soon as my local store confirmed that it would be arriving in just a couple of weeks I set about grabbing a few necessary accessories for it.  Since it’s a $12,000 lens I don’t mind spending a few more dollars on a couple of things to protect it and ease its operations.  Let’s take a look at what is available for this exciting new lens: Really Right Stuff LCF-53 This is a replacement foot for the lens that included the Arca Swiss standard dovetail

Canon 200-400 F4 L IS 1.4x Finally Announced

I’ve honestly lost track of how many times I have written about this lens.  That wouldn’t be that unusual apart from the fact that this lens had not even been officially announced yet, let alone available to purchase! A couple of years ago (or maybe even three?)  Canon put a development announcement out there and showed the world the first concept, a super tele zoom with a built in converter.  Why would they do this you might ask ?  They don’t normally do things like that.  Well Nikon have had a 200-400 f4 for an eternity, maybe even ten years.
