Unusual push pull zoom action but it gives great control. This is a great lens for the wildlife enthusiast.

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.- Good contrast and colour

- Cant use a converter on auto
- but 1.4 can do
