- Novel zoom ring resistance adjustment
- Relatively lightweight
- Reasonably low distortion
- Weather and dust resistant
- Low CA
- Image stabilisation
- Fast autofocus
Cons:
- More expensive than the old 100-400mm ever was

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

Great pics throughout the entire zoom range
I got this lens to be able to reach out further than the 70-200 lens that I already own. This Canon 100-400 F/4.5-5.6L IS II lens is great. I've used it to take pics of both moving (ex - fast flying birds) and still subjects with great success (great clarity, color, etc.).
Pros:
- Quality
- Size
- Weight
- Fit-n-Finish
- Clarity
- light transmission
- Cost/value
Cons:
- None

Works great with Canon's 5d Mark iii
Lens was well worth the wait. Pictures are sharp and clear. Full frame and vary, vary fast focus. Works well with Canon's 1.4 converter.

Great Lens
"I cannot give you a technical review of this lens but from the first moment I used it I could notice an amazing difference. I have owned a series of telephoto lens, the most recent was the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM.

Exceeded my expectations
Excellent lens, the zoom adjustment ring eliminates lens creep. I already owned the 70-300 f4-5.6L IS and 300 f4L IS lenses and so thought long and hard prior to buying this but decided to go ahead for the extra reach it would provide for wildlife photography, I have absolutely no regrets.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Great Value Lens
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
- Top Quality Zoom

Can't beat the L quality lens I am using this lens with 7D giving me effect range of 160-640, the 3 modes of IS and very good close focusing (almost like macro lens) has made lens my favorite. The quality of pictures especially sharpness is simply superb!
