Outstanding Lens But A Little Pricey
I bought this lens due to Canon's "L" lens reputation and it seemed like a logical addition to my Canon 5D Mk II body with 24-105mm F4 kit lens to give me a wide range of zoom. This is an outstanding lens!
Pros:
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Cost

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...

Overpriced legend
This lens is a legend. But it is overpriced. As per Canon India web site, the MRP is 118995/-.

- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable

Great lens for wildlife photographers
This is the first lens I got with my Canon 30D and now I use it on my 7D. For wildlife photography the reach of a 400mm is twice that of the 70-200 zoom. 400mm is 640mm with a smaller sensor - smaller sensor is like having a 1.6x tele converter. IS is great.
Pros:
- zoom range.
Cons:
- Push, pull zoom
- Maybe f 5.6 at max zoom

REVIEW: Canon 100-400mm L IS USM
This is Canon's longest zoom lens and is categorised as one of their L range. The lens has been around for some time now, earning itself a somewhat mixed reputation amongst digital photographers that didn't arise in the days of film. We take a look at this phenomenon.
Pros:
- Good contrast and colour
- Good AF speed that is quiet in use
- Nice focal range at acceptable 3:1 ratio
- Holds its value well
Cons:
- Awkward manual focus at longer focal lengths
- Known problem with bearings giving up the ghost
- Wear in the bearings may well cause deterioration in performance
- May drag dust into the sensor
