The Canon EF 100-400mm IS Lens Review

The Canon EF 100-400mm IS Lens is a serious, state of the art 100-400mm telephoto zoom lens with f/4.5 maximum aperture for Canon SLR cameras. The fantastic features of the Canon EF 100-400mm IS Lens add creative versatility and incredible clarity and sharpness.

The 2 Image stabilizer modes make it easy to capture both far-off action or to zoom in for an intimate portrait with a blurred background. This minimizes shake enough when shooting handheld, but for serious work you will need a tripod or some other kind of support, because the Canon EF 100-400mm IS Lens is big and can get heavy (as can be expected from these types of lenses).

This amazing Canon EF 100-400mm IS Lens is of sturdy construction and consists of 17 elements in 14 groups. It takes fantastic pictures, offering such features as fluorite and Super UD-glass elements that largely eliminate secondary spectrum. Being white it looks a bit strange, but it helps keep it cool when using the lens in the sun. It measures 3.6 inches in diameter, is 7.4 inches long and has a 1-year warranty.

Zooming with this lens might take a little time to get used to, but once you're familiar with it, it is much faster than twist zooming. To tighten or loosen the resistance a resistance ring is used. You can therefore lock the zoom in place to provide no resistance at all. Zooming is as simple as pulling or pushing the lens as its name suggest.

A floating system also ensures high picture quality at all focal lengths and the Canon EF 100-400mm IS Lens is compatible with extenders 1.4x II and 2x II with a 5.9-foot close focusing distance. The auto-focus is quick and quiet.

As described by one user 'The Canon EF 100-400mm IS Lens is a fantastic lens with great sharpness, clarity, no spectral flares and completely silent auto focus. Reasonably fast lens, the image stabilizer effectively makes it a little faster. If you decide to go for it know that you're in for a serious relationship with a serious lens. The payoff is that you have the gear to take incredible telephoto photographs and sharp photographs you can enlarge, suitable for publication.'
