Where can you get the 100-400 L mk2 for less then $1600 ? Amazon price on the EF 100-400 mk 2 is $2400. You must be thinking of the RF 70-200 F2.8 @ $2600. Let me tell you if I paid $2600 for a lens I would be looking for new wife

In the UK, the RF 70-200 f4 L is GBP1700 (about USD 2400) including tax. I paid GBP1600 (about USD 2300) for my EF 100-400 L mk ii, about 2 years ago, including a cashback offer. Prices do differ between countries, and discounts on new model lenses are rare.  I might consider the RF70-200/4 if the price drops by about 25%, but not at the current price.
