70-400mm f/4-5.6 G SSM II
Last year I was looking at getting the 70-400 but waited when i was told there would be a new version early this year. The revised 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM II is ideal for capturing wildlife and action-packed sports. The upgraded super-telephoto zoom builds further on the premium performance of its predecessor with enhanced optics and faster, more responsive auto-focus. With its new LSI drive circuit, auto-focus speed of the SSM (Super Sonic Wave Motor) is around four times quicker than before. Teamed with enhanced tracking AF, the upgraded lens is now even more suitable for capturing stills and Full HD video of fast-moving subjects.
