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.

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.

Awesome lens, takes amazing pictures from a distance. I can see into my neighbors window brilliantly with this lens. Yes it's heavy, but it's supposed to be, that's why it comes with a collar ring.

Canon EF lenses are the best. This particular lens has great stability, lets in so much light and is light weight compared to the previous version.

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.

An amazing lens for the serious amateur and professional alike. Just Google the product for reviews and there's nothing less than four stars. Many five stars! Purchasing through John Lewis and able to collect the product from my local Waitrose was simple and reliable. Delivery was within 48 hours

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

This is a very good lens. I had tried the old 100-400 F5.6 zoom and this new one is a different quality producing much sharper images and the auto-focus is also much faster and more precise. I also own the 400mm F5.6 fixed lens and both are very close sharpness at F5.6.

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!
