Very easy to use, quick to focus and sharp images.
I have used this lens, coupled to my 7D, virtually every day since I got it just over 2 weeks ago and I am impressed with its ease of handling. Small birds feeding during the first couple of hours after daylight have been my main subjects to date.
Pros:
- Superior build quality
- Super-sharp images
- Fast auto-focus

Top Notch lens
The Canon EF 100-400 mm f/ 4.5-5.6L IS USM lens has got to be one of the best value for money lenses out there and is a must for anyone getting into wildlife photography. If you have a Canon DSLR, there might be better lenses out there but no way near the price.

Excellent lens. If your thinking about it just do it. Its extremely flexible and whilst not a small lens it is a lens you can easily walk around with for hours. In this sort of price/size range your options are 300F4L IS, 400 5.6L,70-300L IS and 100-400LIS.
Pros:
- Superb lens, amazing telephoto flexibility in a single lens
- You just can't beat the flexibility offered by this lens
Cons:
- Its not cheap or small

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

Excellent lens for distance photos
The Canon 100-400mm lens has been great for shooting photos at a distance while still having flexibility to pull in to 100mm. Although a 400mm f/5.6 prime or a 400mm f/4 will probably take better photos, the versatility and price of this lens are much more reasonable for an all-around hobbyist like...

Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM review by Jaylmac
In the L series, I only have experience with the 70-200 f2.8 and this 100-400 lens. I originally wanted the 70-200. My husband (thinking bigger numbers must be better) bought me the 100-400 instead for my birthday. This turned out to be a blessing rather than a mistake.
Pros:
- Clear fully zoomed
Cons:
- Not good for low light

Very nice images.
There is a problem with this lens and that is it will not match all cameras unless you are lucky. What I mean by this is you may have to adjust your cameras micro adjustment to get the best out of it.
