Needed something longer for Soccer. My 200 1.8 with the 1.4x was nice, but not long enough all the time. Had a hard time deciding between this and the 300 2.8 but with the 200 already, why waste my money? If you are shooting soccer or football, even baseball, this is the lens.
Pros:
- Super fast, IS is great if you need it
- Super sharp, maybe not as sharp as the 200 1.8, but for the additional length, so what
Cons:
- NONE..............So its a little heavy.....Do you want the shot or not

Incredible
Razor sharp, faster than a speeding bullet and built like a tank. Should come with a gym membership (heavy) but all that weight has an upside. The most amazing photographs you could imagine capturing.

Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM review
Combine a 400mm full-frame prime lens with a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 and there are two things you can be assured of – size and weight. The mighty Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM measures a whopping 163 x 343mm (484mm long with the lens hood fitted) and tips the scales at 3.85kg.

Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM
The long wait was definitely worth it. I just got the lens and it matches my expectations based on Canon's MTF curves. Each of my Canon bodies (5DMkII & 7D) require microfocus adjustment to extract full sharpness down to f/2.8.
Pros:
- Tack Sharp
- even with the 1.4x and 2X III TC's
Cons:
- Price
- Even Less Weight would be nice

The ultimate field sports lens - Canon raises the bar
I purchased the EF 400 f/2.8L IS II USM to replace my very capable EF 400 f/2.8L IS. Right out of the box, the weight difference is simply staggering. This lens is quite handholdable for me. I weighs 3.36 lb less than the prior version.
Pros:
- lighter weight
- optical performance
- IQ
- improved ergonomics
Cons:
- Cost - These new Canon prices are just ridiculous
- I sold a pristine EF 400mm f/2.8L IS and a EF 600mm f/4L IS just to pay for this monster

AWESOME LENS!
I have many lenses in my line up but this lens paired with a 5d3 or a 1dx is absolutely remarkable. Would recommend it to ANYONE. Don't let the price scare you away. Use it once and you will be hooked!
Pros:
- Fast auto-focus
- Superior build quality
- Super-sharp images
Cons:
- price

The cats meow of lenses!
I bought this lens for wildlife photography and it is great for that. It's just obviously a very heavy lens. Not easy to port to places you would like to walk to but I truly am not complaining about that because I knew it when I bought it. I love it and have no regrets!
Pros:
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Durable
- Strong Construction
- Consistent Output
Cons:
- Heavy
