Q: 1. Is it possible to add a 2x extender to this lens? If so, what will the maximum aperture be, and will autofocus work? A previous answer mentioned adding the 1.4x but didn't say anything about the 2x. I am thinking about using this lens for wildlife photography in situations where it would be difficult or problematic to use my 600mm lens (to which I often add the 1.4x or 2x extender) due to weight and the need for a tripod.

A: I absolutely love the lens. You can add an extra 1.4x external with the lens' internal 1.4x extender in place and have a 392-784mm f/8 lens. The autofocus will work, but it limited to the center focus point. If you were to add an external 2x extender instead, you would have a 560-1120mm f/11 lens, but there would be no autofocus - it would have to be done manually. The lens with the internal 1.4x is razor sharp, as sharp as my prime lens. With an external 1.4x there is a slight loss of sharpness, like with all lenses, but still is terrific. I've never heard of how a 2x extender does on this lens, but there would definitely be additional loss of resolution.

Q: 2. This is a difficult decision...I'm looking to buy either the 200-400mm f/4L or the 500mm f/4L.Even though the 200-400 has a built in 1.4x extender, can I add another 1.4 or 2x extender as well?I like the versatility of the zoom & I like the lower price and longer reach of the 500...

A: It is possible to use a 1.4x converter with this lens, you would need to first pre-focus with the internal 1.4x converter and then focus on your subject, then remove the lens, apply the external 1.4x converter, and the focus should be retained once you re-mount the lens. However, you will be better off with the 500mm f/4L to achieve the same effect without the efforts.

Q: 3. Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L vs the 400mm f/2L to shoot soccer and track?

A: Great sports lens. To be able to zoom in and out. A lot less weight, 400mm 2.8. Still not light. But, I have been using big glass for a lot of years. One of the best lens that I have ever owned.

Q: 4. Whats the minimum outside temperature this lens should be used in?

A: Hi--you can use this lens in any weather that you can function in. In extremely cold weather (below 15F), batteries on the camera will die very quickly and the lubricants in the lens may become more viscous, slowing the AF reaction somewhat. But it won't damage the lens.

Q: 5. Previously a guy asked what the final cost of the Canon 200-400mm zoom lens would be if shipped out of state and purchased by card on line. Would that price also hold for me here in Iowa if I were to purchase the lens as stated above? I am very seriously considering ordering this lens! What would the final price for me in Iowa be if I made the purchase?

A: Shipping fees are calculated based on size, weight and desitnation of the order. You may calculate your actual shipping options/order totals by adding the items you want to a shopping cart. It will then list the shipping options, descriptions, Estimated Times of Arrival and fees to your location. (doing this much will not commit you to an order, but is simply a way to calculate your order costs.

Q: 6. Is this lens compatible with a 60D ?

A: Yes, this lens is compatible with all Canon SLRs. Even APS-C sensored ones.

Q: 7. Like the 300 f/2.8L lens, can you rotate this lens both horizontally and vertically without moving the lens on a monopod. Assume so but desire to verify. Also, is it much difficulty to insert the circular polarizer? Thank you.

A: Yes, the lens' tripod collar will allow you to rotate the camera.

Q: 8. Can you still achieve f/4 with the built in 1.4x extender enabled?

A: No, with the built in 1.4X extender enabled the maximum aperture f/5.6, and if you attach an external 1.4X extender and enable the internal one, the maximum aperture is f/8.

Q: 9. Is this lens weather sealed?

A: The lens is not fully weather sealed as does not have the rubber gaskets. But since the lens is a prime lens it does not move in in out like most zooms so there is less chance of getting dust or moisture in it

Q: 10. What is the difference between the two drop-in polarizer filters that are pictured/offered in the accessories section for this lens? There's a $60.00 difference in price.

A: The Canon PL-C 52WII 52mm Drop-In Circular Polarizing Filter B&H # CACPDI52Q has greater light transmission than the Canon 2585A001 52mm Circular Polarizing Filter (Rear Drop-in) B&H # CACPDI52, hence the higher price point.
