Canon 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS II

Sports and wildlife photographers have been all a buzz since the release of this Canon telephoto zoom lens. A replacement for an already hugely popular lens, this Canon 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS II is a well-equipped piece of kit, able to handle any type of long distance shooting.

Quality that we have come to expect

Being a Canon L series lens, you would expect the 100-400mm II to be of exceptional build quality and you will definitely not be disappointed. A rugged dust and splash-proof construction enables the lens to be used under the harshest of conditions, providing a level of freedom that outdoor and action photographers have come to rely on. Front and rear fluorite coatings have been included in this lens to help in the reduction of dirt sticking to and damaging the lens.
Another characteristic that this telephoto zoom lens shares with other members of the L series line-up is its incredible optical quality. A superb construction ensures image quality is top-notch at all focal lengths, while the inclusion of Super UD-glass elements helps to reduce the appearance of aberrations and distortions. This is the much lauded image quality that keeps Canon users coming back for more.

4 stop IS - Blur-free in all conditions

A vast improvement over the previous Canon 100-400mm lens, comes in the form of the redesigned image stabiliser system. This new IS has 3 different modes to allow for different shooting conditions and can improve performance by up to 4 stops. This advantage can be felt when shooting in conditions of low-light and when photographing fast moving subjects. This extra stability allows for confident hand-held shooting and will be appreciated by the fast-paced shooters that are drawn to this lens

Other features

Ring-type USM focus motor provides silent and quick AF, well suited to action and both stills and video
Newly designed rotation-type zoom ring allows for fine adjustments and balanced shooting

Excellent lens upgrade
David S, 8/07/2015

This lens is a substantial upgrade to the EF 100-400 L Mk I zoom that it replaces, and which I used for many years. It is better optically and consistent optically across the zoom range, autofocus works better, and it has a much better image stabilizer that genuinely gives at least a 4-stop advantage in handholding when activated. Many people will find the two-ring design preferable to the trombone zoom action of the predecessor lens. The lens hood is an improved design that mounts and dismounts more easily, locks in place, and has a handy port for manipulating a polarizing filter. The lens also has the weather protection that the Mk I lens lacked, including a rubber ring seal on the lens mount. The lens also gives high quality results with the EF 1.4x TC II, even when used in manual focus on an EOS 7D body. The lens is considerably easier to use in manual focus due to a much improved design, shape and positioning of the manual focus ring, which is now capable of very smooth and precise manual focusing. (Note, the new lens in combination with the EF 1.4x TC will autofocus on the EOS 7D Mk II and 5D Mk III using the centre focus point only).
Overall, a highly recommended upgrade to the EF 100-400 L zoom design.

What a terrific lens
Stephen D, 19/03/2015

The new Canon EF 100 to 400mm IS USM II lens is a delight. I have owned one for about three weeks now and have been to several wildlife areas in the Canberra area over the past three weekends to photograph wildlife. I have some managed some great shots of flying birds, and other small animals. The lens is very sharp, very fast to focus, and produces beautiful colours and delightful bokeh. I can use it had held for a while and I find the IS helps a great deal.I get sharp pictures from around 1/50 , but it is a heavy lens and I get better results with a Tripod. Especially if I am using it for an hour or two.

I'd certainly recommend this lens to anyone who wants a long zoom lens without any compromise in quality.

Pros: Build quality
Cons: Bulky
