Re: EOS Price of New EF 1.4 II and EF 2x II

[Karen Nakamura]

Has anyone noticed these aren't designated as 'L' series anymore? I wonder if the extra length on both of them means that they'll now fit non-L zooms. That'd be worth the extra pennies! Darn, I just looked at the photos on Canon's web site. It looks like both the 2.0X and 1.4X have protruding front elements. :( Karen EF 2x II Tele-Extenders Introduction: The new EF 2x II extender replaces the previous (and highly regarded) EF 2x extender. New on the EF 2x II is added weather-resistance to the front and rear mount surfaces to match the level provided by the EOS-1v and the new IS super-telephoto lenses. Optically redesigned for better performance the EF 2x II extender also features new internal anti-reflection construction that improves contrast even when shooting EF 1.4x II Tele-Extenders Introduction: The new EF 1.4x II extender replaces the previous (and highly regarded) EF 1.4x extender. New on the EF 1.4x II is added weather-resistance to the front and rear mount surfaces to match the level provided by the EOS-1v and the new IS super-telephoto lenses. New internal anti-reflection construction improves contrast even when shooting in heavy backlit conditions.
