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

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

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.

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]
As I normally shoot travel and landscape, with occasional product shots and weddings, it's not often I play with the big guns. You know, 400, 500 and 600mm lenses. But with the help of BorrowLenses.com , I was able to borrow and shoot with a Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM in Alaska for two weeks.

Pros:
- Excellent optical performance
- Good focus pre-set and Image stabilisation

- Price
- IS modes and the switch to change them
