Really wanted to like this lens but too many flaws

I studied many reviews on this lens and waited over a year before finally purchasing it. Walmart had it at a fair price with a good return policy, and the shipping cost was reasonable. I knew the lens has some limitations, but I really thought it would work for me.

suction pump!!

I would rate it 1 start for how it was when i bought it !! cropped pictures taken from a 18-135 kit lens were better than 100-400 L !! super soft out of focus images, both on AF and MF modes !!

Good lens but older version, heavy & slides to full zoom when hanging on neck or holster

This is a "refurbished" lens which I think means it was checked for performance and cleanliness. Don't know what else. Pros:. Best quality lens I've had, nearly half the cost of new, sturdy.

Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 USM L IS - Full Format Review / Test Report

The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 USM L IS is almost a boring lens but in a positive sense. It shows no extreme weaknesses nor strengths. You will find sharper lenses - primes that is - but it is very sharp for a zoom lens, especially considering its 400mm, and that's throughout the range at all...

good for the prce

I own for this lens for more than one year and I say I like this lens so much. I use this for wild life photography and long distance shots. This lens is user friendly and less weight compared to competitors. down side of this lens is little bit noisy and slow auto focusing.
Pros:
  • focal length and weight
Cons:
  • slow auto focus

Smidigt och lättanvänt

Bra objektiv med trevligt zoomomfång. Skapligt snabb autofokus tycker jag.
Pros:
  • Bra kvalitet både optiskt och mekaniskt
  • Jag har haft mitt i mer än fem år och tycker det fungerar mycket bra
Cons:
  • Jag har lite svårt för dragzoomen
  • hade hellre sett en vridzoom
  • men det kanske är svårt på dessa brännvidder

Very nice zoom with very big reach, there is no alternative. I have had the 400 F5.6L but saw no better IQ. The IS makes it possible to work without a mono-pod, but you need daylight off-course. Nice zoom for a visit to the zoo for example.
Pros:
  • Nice reach
  • good IQ even on a Fullframe
  • solid build,IS
Cons:
  • IS shows it's age
  • I need two hands to control the tightening ring
