The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens offers professional grade build quality, fast, accurate and quiet AF, very effective image stabilization and very impressive wide open image quality over the entire and very useful 100-400mm telephoto focal length range. Downsides?

For Canon lens fans, the wait finally ended when the company took the wraps off the new EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM, a relatively compact super-telephoto zoom that has been hotly anticipated and frequently rumored about for years.

Initially, I was hesitant to upgrade from my Canon EF 100 - 400mm IS I to the ISII. After all, I had taken some great photos with the original lens. My primary use of this lens is wildlife photography, for which this lens offers a practical alternative for those who cannot afford the 'big guns'.

The king is dead, long live the king! Seems as if Canon wanted to show the new mirrorless kids who is still the boss around. The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 USM L IS was already good but the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 USM L IS II is even better.

Given its substantial cost, it took me a long time to decide to buy this lens. I'm so glad I did. It has lived up to and surpassed all my expectations. The lens is super sharp of course, but it's the image stabilisation and focus speed that make it a joy to use.

This lens is just awesome..super happy, image quality is mind blowing.

This is a great lens. When I borrowed on my son told me, "These are the best freakin pictures you have ever taken." The next day I purchased one from Digital Goja through Amazon. The questions I had were answered quickly. All the products arrived as promised.

This is my second 100-400 lens. I absolutely love the new version even more than the previous one I bought about about 15 years ago. This is my go-to lens for sports photography. I can use it sitting in the stands and I always get great shots.

Weight

This eagerly awaited telephoto zoom lens replaces the old 100-400mm lens in Canon's lineup of professional lenses. Its predecessor was popular due to its relative compact size, light weight and good value for money.
