Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 USM L IS II - Full Format Review / Test Report
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.
Excellent telephoto zoom
This is an excellent lens and a wonderful alternative to the very expensive primes in this focal length. Focus drifts a little but it may be my camera settings are not optimal for the lens

- Easy to handhold
- Well constructed
- Terrific usability thanks to wide zoom ring
- Expensive
- f/5.6 maximum aperture may deter some
