Meets and exceeds expectations
This lens is replacing a Tamron 75X300 mm lens AND a heavy and unvieldy Bower 650/1300 mm. I plan to purchase a Canon Extender Lens but as of now I do not know how it works with 100X400 mm lens.
Pros:
- The lens is easy to use
- The automatic focus is quick and accurate
- The manual focus override is smooth and easy to use
- The image stabilizer is very effective and I am able to do much more in handheld mode than I had expected.
Cons:
- The weight of the lens makes for a heavy item to carry for an extended period - but - it is comparable with lenses of similar quality and range

Long Reach Zoom - Good for Sports
Purchased approximately 6 months ago to photograph my son's soccer team in action, this has been a good lens. In terms of features, it has 2 image stabilization settings, a close up focus limiter to save on battery power and is very well constructed. This is a tank of a lens.
Pros:
- Wedll constructed
- good reach
- sharp lens
Cons:
- Needs tripod or monopod
- not as bright as some L lenses

It's about how you use the lens and what you use it for. I've got a ton of amazing shots with it. Great image quality.
Pros:

- I even got great close up photos of insects with it
- It's definitely worth the money you pay for it
Cons:
- slow lens speed 4.5-5.6...but you get more than what you pay for

Great Wildlife Lens!
This is my main lens for photographing wildlife. This lens has been to the wilds of Alaska, Wyoming, and all the way back to Pennsylvania. I love it! The lens produces sharp images, even at extended full length.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Rugged
Cons:
- Heavy

Expensive but worth it!
If it were lightweight, one can shoot for hours handheld. The push/pull zooming adjustment needs getting used-to. With a teleconverter attached, auto-focus is slow and it tended to "look" for the subject, thus, losing the shot of fast-moving birds like the wren.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Handheld Shooting
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Expensive
- Heavy
- Lens Creep
- Slow Focus Wteleconverte

The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens is a very good performer with few loopholes. You will find the resolution of the lens on a very high level throughout the zoom range with only a marginal performance penalty at 400mm.
