According to the Egami Blog Canon has filed a patent for an EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM Extender Lens.
 
If I’m reading the patent details correctly, this lens would feature user selectable extender settings of 1.4x and 1.7x. This could be a really interesting addition to Canon’s super telephoto lens lineup. [Sean]
