 Opportunistic spy photo of Canons new 70-200000 L lens.
Little details have been released on this new much awaited lens.
Focus ring and zoom ring seem to be well positioned and easily accessible. DPC members think this lens is aimed for user who own trucking companies or the keen amateur photog.
Rumors are saying that you may need some sort of adapter for use with some older film cameras.
Judging by this photo of the prototype the switches and marking are very similar to the very popular 70-200 L lens. Also the weather sealing seam adequate as this lens was No tripod collar is seen on this lens but Canon will be recommending use with a good tripod and a solid ball head.
USM have been beefed up some what (note battery compartment under tray) in order to keep focus times to a minimum.

My first attempt an any sort of expert editing. I know its not great but it was fun and huge learning experience.

Edit for typo in the description
Also the weather sealing seems adequate as this lens was left outside overnight.

15 comments with 3 days to go my personal best.
Very happy with the way this image has been received. It could have voted on for its use of expert editing which isn't a high standard so a sub five was very possible.
But people have taken this image as it was intended, just something to lighten your day.
Well all except for one...

Yep. Still not in my budget yet.
My wife asked me, "Is that real?"
Me: "No, darling." :)

It's a good composite though - nice shading.

Not real. Curiously, the blown sky adds to the reality of this. Great concept.
