Pros:
- Easy to use
- Build quality

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...

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.

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.

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

Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Lens Review
The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Lens has an excellent focal length range that includes the longest focal length found in a Canon zoom lens - 400mm. This long focal length and focal length range combine with very good image and build quality to make the 100-400 L one of the most popular...

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

Canon EF 100-400/4.5-5.6L IS USM Full Review
The Canon EF 100-400/4.5-5.6L IS USM is Canon's premium telephoto zoom lens. It competes with the EF 300/4L IS and the EF400/5.6L prime lenses as a telephoto and with the EF 70-300/4-5.6IS as a wide range telephoto zoom.
