    HIGH PERFORMANCE TELPHOTO ZOOM LENS WITH IMAGE STABILZER.
    The EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM is Canon's fourth Image Stabilizer lens. It is a high-performance L-series telephoto zoom lens offering sophisticated features and high image quality which is to succeed the existing EF 100-300mm f/5.6L lens. Besides having an Image Stabilizer, this new lens also features enhancements such as ring USM for silent AF, rear focusing, a longer focal length range, and fluorite and Super UD elements which correct secondary chromatic aberrations for high image quality. It is the first EF zoom lens to have both rear focusing and a floating system to obtain high image quality at all focal lengths. Compatible with Extender EF 1.4x and EF 2x. With the EOS 3, autofocusing (at the centre focusing point only) is possible while the EF 1.4x is attached to the lens.

  • The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 USM L IS is almost a boring lens but in a positive sense. It shows no extreme weaknesses nor strengths. You will find sharper lenses - primes that is - but it is very sharp for a zoom lens, especially considering its 4...

There are many "alternatives" to the 100-400, and for sure it is not the right lens for everyone. If you dont need a lot of reach, and you want the best quality, the 70-200 f/2.8 IS is the best choice. Otherwise, if you dont mind size and...

Its not surprising to hear people swear by this lens: in 1998, there wouldnt have been much else in the price range that would have been as sharp. The push-pull design doesnt appeal to everyone for a variety of reasons, but its hard to deny the le...
