A Lens You Should Consider!

This is an outstanding lens - definitely one of Canon's greatest. It also seems well priced in comparison to Canon's other super telephoto lens options.I've been using it professionally for over a year now.
Pros:
  • Sharpness
  • macro capability
  • fast autofocus
  • build quality
  • image stabiliser
  • price
Cons:
  • 5.6 at 400mm

Love the weather proofing

Im a surf photography or at least I would like to think so. The version II not being a push pull is a major winner for me.

Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM

I was a little skeptical when a Canon representative told me that the new Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens ($2,199) is just as good as the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM , the best zoom lens of that range we've tested.
Pros:
  • Incredibly sharp throughout zoom range
  • Optically stabilized
  • Quick focus
  • 1:3 magnification
  • Relatively compact
Cons:
  • Pricey
  • Some barrel distortion at 100mm

Canon has had 15 years to get the 100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS USM Mark II right, and produce a worthy successor to the venerable, but still very capable original. And it has. The new Mk II has less in the way of revolutionary new features, as the Mk I was pretty well specified anyway, and Canon has...

The Canon 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 IS USM Mark II has been worth waiting for, now with unrivalled all-round telezoom versatility. It rates best in class for sharpness, AF performance, image stabilization, close focusing and build quality. Canon has done a very thorough job and it's still good value, too.
Pros:
  • Sports , wildlife and nature. Candids, and studio portraiture too at shorter focal lengths.
Cons:
  • Situations when only f/2.8 will do, or being discreet

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.
