Re: Canon 200mm f2 L vs. 200-400mm f4 L

You haven't said much about what you want to do with the new lens, but one combination which definitely does work, and costs much less than the 200-400, is the 300/2.8L II with the two MkIII Extenders. I used mine with the 2x for three years before finally buying a 500/4L II, and that wasn't for image quality, it was for AF performance and greater maximum reach.

The 400 DO II looks like a very good option too, with the 1.4x when needed. I've handled one on a 7D2 and it feels great, but I've no experience of actually shooting with one.
