If you are waiting to get the Leica 100-400mm lens well…you have to wait longer than expected! The lens will ship on April 30 only according to BHphoto (Click here).

Imaging Resource tested the lens and writes:

I shot everything in this batch handheld, as I wanted to really push the limits to see how well the I.S. would hold up in the real world. I have fairly steady hands, though not rock-solid like our senior lens technician Rob Murray, so my results are likely in the middle ground for average hand-shake. I found the I.S. to be remarkably effective though, and have a shot at 1/80s below that’s handheld at 448mm eq. It was dusk, so at ISO 3200 there is a trace of noise, but without I.S. it’s unlikely I could have achieved this shot handheld without cranking the ISO much higher and incurring a bit too much noise.
