A must have if you are shooting college/pro sports!
This review is based off experience with the 400mm 2.8 IS II USM and the Canon 1DX camera I bought the mark I version of this lens 2 years ago. I love(d) it and it produced amazing images for me, especially when shooting in f/4.

Not for the FAint of Heart
There is a learning curve associated with using a telephoto lens, and the images produced are the reward. This lens is not one that you are likely to carry around unless you are a sports or nature photographer, and using it is not like using a shorter zoom.
Pros:
- image quality
Cons:
- weight

Canon's updated version of the venerable 400-2.8 telephoto lens is wonderful to use since it weighs four pounds less than its predecessor.

Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight

Heavy but portable
This is a relatively large and heavy lens, but I can just about hand hold and still get great shots. The focussing is fast and sharp even with a 2x extender (combined with a 7D Mk 2).
Pros:
- Durable
- Great Picture Quality

Das Traumobjektiv
Was man mit diesem Objektiv auch fotografiert, es wird einfach traumhaft. Ich habe damit zum Beispiel den Mond abgelichtet, was sehr gut auch aus der Hand gelingt, da diese zweite Version deutlich leichter als die erste ist. Einfach ein super Produkt.

Ive had this lens for three and a half years. I use it for high school and college sports. Its amazing. The price on the II has dropped because the III is now out. The III is a couple of pounds lighter, but let me assure anyone who is worried, you wont be thinking about the weight of the lens when...

Cannon lens
I borrow my friend's 400mm lens to photograph a wakeboard competition and I got some pretty great shots with it.
