Got tagged this AM by my go-to camera sales guy knowing that I anxiously await the Canon 100-400mm lens/version 2. He passed this on:

He thinks the rumors are solid and he'll be able to order one for me soon.

Can't wait! Between this and the 16-35 f/4, my whole kit is getting updated this year.

It's still considered a rumor. Remember how long it went on about a replacement for the 7D?

But a rotating zoom over the current push pull design would be key to making this lens worthy of serious consideration.

My guess would be not cheap.

Nope. There have been persistent rumors of higher cost than version 1 even as high as $2.3K. Only rumors though. Awaiting tech specs and pricing.

2-2.5k is what I would have guessed. Not cheap, but not ridiculous for what it is.
