Canon previously announced their 200-400mm f4 L IS USM lens a while back, but it was then delayed for unknown reasons. Today, the company is re-announcing the lens with a 1.4x teleconverter built in–therefore extending its reach to 280–560mm (f/5.6) with what they’re saying is, “A flick of a switch.” They’re also touting that this will help with ensuring that dust doesn’t get into the camera’s electronics.

The EF 200–400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4X incorporates one fluorite and four UD lens elements, a 9-blade circular aperture, features inner focusing, ring USM, a high-speed CPU and optimized AF algorithms. Plus it has a Power Focus mode that makes focus shifts quieter while filming.

Canon is also promising up to four stop of Image stabilization with either standard, panning, and during exposure only.

Want it? Get ready to drop $11,799 for this bad boy when it hits retailers soon.

PS: We’re giving away a Canon 5D Mk III
