Review: Great Quality for Wildlife Photography; Arrived in Perfect Condition - Excellent lens for shooting wildlife without having to get super close and scaring the animal/bird. The level is detail is really good. It takes a little bit longer to focus, so it's not as quick to catch moving objects compared to my macro lens, but the stability is better. Comes with a lens hood and carrying case, so you don't need to worry about buying those separately, which is a plus. I was worried about ordering a lens online, but given that EF lenses are being phased out and harder to come by in stores, online is really the only way to get your hands on one these days. To my relief, the lens was packaged and insulated very well and arrived in perfect condition. It still takes me a bit of trial and error to get the lens lined up and twisted onto my camera every time I attach it, but it fits perfectly on my Canon Rebel T5 body. It is a bit heavy to carry but with the carrying case and strap it's not bad. Worth every dollar.
Review: A great lens for nature and wildlife photography - I love this lens! I first rented one for a trip to Alaska, and it took wonderful pictures under less than ideal situations - on moving buses, boats, and even from an ocean kayak in light swell. I finally broke down and bought one recently. Image stabilization is superb. Prior to focusing one can see the image shaking through the camera's (T4i in my case) viewfinder, but the image stabilizes almost instantly with a half-depress of the shutter button. This is not to say one will not ever get blurry shots, but this lens does an amazing job even at 400mm without a tripod/monopod. Images are very crisp in the 100-300 mm range, but can be a little "soft" at 400mm. Still, I regularly look at my photos on a 27" monitor, and I am very pleased with the image quality, even (especially!) at full lens extension. I have not tried to print any of my photos, so I can not address print quality. This is not the fastest lens in the world, but it does not suck either. Putting a circular polarizer on it almost guarantees an ISO bump unless you are shooting in very sunny conditions. With just a UV filter on the lens last weekend, I was able to shoot 1/640, f/4.5, ISO 100, 400mm under completely overcast conditions and got many very clean pictures, including moving seals and birds in flight. The zoom function is a little unusual - it is a push/pull system that takes a little getting used to. It's quick and easy to change focal lengths if one leaves the locking ring a little loose. Within half an hour of my first using the lens I was changing focal lengths quickly and with little thought. The lens is a little heavy, but this is to be expected given what the lens does. I would not recommend hanging it around your neck for extended periods of time. Overall I have been very happy with the overall performance of this lens. That being said, I highly recommend renting this lens and trying it out before buying it. There are a number of very good online-companies (not sure if desertcart will let me post URLs) that rent this lens for relatively cheap (~$60 for a week, plus ~$25 shipping).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am looking for a good lens that I can use to take indoor hockey pictures. Would anyone recommend this lens for this purpose**
A: Depends on the lighting. The reach is perfect, but if lighting is deem you might need to go to a 70-200 2.8 instead. I have used this sense for gymnastics, but the lighting in Gyms is always very bad. Hockey might be better.

**Q: Is this lens compatible with the 70D?**
A: Yes it is fully compatible. Zoom range is based off of full frame sensors (35mm equivalent)The 70D APS-C sensor has a crop factor of 1.6x giving the lens a equivalent to 160-640mm

**Q: is this lense compatible with the 10D?**
A: sorry I do not know....cut Canon has on its site a lens compatibility list for each type of canon cameras,

**Q: Is this a LI or LII Series Lens?Thanks.**
A: It is an L series not L2

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing clarity over entire zoom range, wide open to about f11
*by N***R on May 3, 2023*

Bought this lens used from Japan. Risky but paid off. Lens shows no evidence of ever having been used. AF is slower than most but accurate. Didn't see much difference in AF speed or accuracy between AF min focus distance settings, 1.8m vs 6.5m. Lens is almost as sharp wide open (f4.5 @ 100mm - f5.6 @ 400mm) as it is stopped down to its sweet spot around f7.1. Images become soft after f11 but I rarely use such narrow apertures on long lenses. Some complain about the sliding zoom collar. I don't agree. It's easy to get used to and works smoothly. The slide friction ring is easy to set so that the lens doesn't collapse when pointing up or down. Some advice: Read the manual! There are some things that are counter intuitive such as the need to turn off IS when on a tripod. Also, the difference between IS Mode 1 (for still object shooting) and IS Mode 2 (for moving object vertically or horizontially but not both). The newer EF 100-400L II lens has three IS Modes. The third mode is useful for objects in motion both horizontially, vertically or at any angle. Useful, but is it worth an additional $500? Is also useful to shoot in AI-AF and HS shutter. Pick through the pictures later to select the bes ones. The lens is heavy, about 3lbs. You will need stamina to shoot a day-long session. On the other hand, you get a lot of high quality glass packed into that 3lbs. Zoom range on my 90D crop sensor body is 160mm-640mm, serious wildlife shooting territory. Can't wait to try it out in our local mountains, perhaps a practice session at the zoo first. Highly recommend this L quality lens, especially if you can capture a good example on the used market. Used prices at this time are about $750+tax+shipping for a well cared-for lens.
