Canon 100-400mm L IS II USM 

Capture stunning telephoto shots with the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens. Image stabilization & fast autofocus. Shop now!

The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens is a rugged, long telephoto lens designed for professional photographers to use with full-frame Canon DSLRs. Redesigned incorporating the latest image stabilization, autofocus and lens design advances, this lens offers outstanding image quality and fast AF. An Air Sphere coating has been added to many of the lens's elements to reduce ghosting and flare. Sharp pictures are also possible thanks to the Optical Image Stabilizer, which is effective for four stops.  What you should know about this lens:  &#149; 1. Super optics: In addition to Air Sphere coating to promote reduce backlit flaring and ghosting, the lens has a fluorite element and one Super UD (Ultra Low Dispersion) element, which corrects aberrations and improves sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy.  &#149; 2. 4 stops of stabilization: Minimizing camera shake is especially important when using a long focal length, which exaggerates any shakiness. The Canon EF 100-400's OIS has three selectable image stabilization modes (standard, panning and during exposure only). They are effective for up to 4 stops of exposure.  &#149; 3. Fast, accurate autofocus: Canon has upgraded its Ultrasonic Motor (USM) and high-speed CPU with optimized AF algorithms and nearly silent AF.  &#149; 4. Precise zooming: The rotating zoom ring lens you adjust zoom position. You can vary the tension on the zoom via a zoom torque adjustment, giving the zoom a custom feel based on your preference.  &#149; 5. Great Bokeh: With 9 rounded diaphragm blades, the lens is designed to produce rounded specular highlights and smooth out-of-focus areas so your subject stands out better.

It's a great lens. I tried it and found it is very sharp lens that can help me reach any target.

It's a great lens.

Highly recommend this lens. It took my photography to a higher level. Very pleased with it.

Glad I bought this lens

I have two EF 100-400mm lenses; repaired#1 and during which bought #2... LOVE the lens Whether wildlife, florals, long or short... Too - - works very well with the 1.4 extender lens. Highly recommend!

Great Lens!

Capable lens in so many ways. Transition to mirrorless bodies is seamless. From Airshows, birding, and Solar Eclipse this is an amazing tools.

Versatile glass

This lens was purchased as the alternative to an EF 600mm f/4L IS USM used for birds and wildlife. Obviously, the 600mm isn't suited to walking around, or keeping on hand for opportunistic shots.

The build quality is excellent. It is a rugged lens and while it is not light, it is the extensive glass and the metal body adding that weight so there's real benefit to that cost.

While the 400mm maximum and f/5.6 limit at that length can't match it, the performance of the 100-400mm is more than adequate for the settings and conditions it does fit. I was afraid I would be compromising on IQ but that fear quickly vanished as I found that at any focal length this lens can produce razor sharp, high contrast shots I am happy to call my work.

The usability is top notch as well. The AF is fast, not quite as fast as the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM but close. I rarely have a problem getting good focus, and in time to get the shot. The image stabilization is excellent as well, and with three modes, including one that stabilizes only at the moment of shooting, it doesn't interfere with getting the shot with dynamic, moving subjects like birds in flight.

With the barrel retracted and the hood inverted it presents a surprisingly compact package making it easy to carry and even with the hood in shooting position if it is zoomed to 100mm it can easily be carried on a strap while walking or hiking.

The other unexpected bonus with this lens is the exception close focus distance of about 1m (3ft). Because of this, I find myself using this lens for a lot more "normal" photography, including portraiture, candids, and even "telemacro" of flowers, insects, and the like.

Overall, this lens should be in the kit of any Canon shooter needing a telephoto lens in this range. The combination of performance, ruggedness, and versatility make it a lens you will find yourself using constantly.

The Fourth Lens in the Trinity

I'm still getting to know the lens, but so far it has met my expectations. I have been impressed with the smoothness and tension control of the zoom ring. I love the lens' ability to focus on subjects as close as 3 feet.

Great lens

It is beautiful and most I enjoyed lens ever. Almost it is my go to lens.

Sharp, easy to use lens. Compact and not too heavy. Sharp at all focal lengths too. I enjoyed this lens a LOT.

Great 100-400mm lens, sharp and quick.

Excellent clarity and separation of subject and background (bokeh).  Photo is handheld on 5dIV body

Nice for the price

I bought this intentionally for an airshow and it's quickly become one of my primary lenses. Never leave home without it.

Great Versatility. Perfect for Outdoors

Pro quality pictures.  The zoom factor is perfect for me.  Although kind of on the slow side, I got use to using the Exposure compensation and the results were excellent.

Wow, what a lens

Built like a tank, I love the reach these lens gives me and the pictures are crystal sharp!

It took only 3 days from ordering to receiving my purchase.  Faster than I expected and no damage during shipping.

Solid Purchase

Love my new lens. It allows me to capture my subject so much clearer and larger from a longer distance. I love the ability to tighten the zoom to maintain a constant distance to focus on.

Love my new zoom lens

Came up for a fair price used, so I took a flyer.  Own an incredibly sharp 400mm f4 DO, so telephoto was pretty much covered. Also have the 180mm Macro, which is a standout lens.  

This lens covers both ends and what's in between, and does it with high contrast, high resolution, and tolerable weight.  Certainly much less than carrying both the others into the field.   It's my "walk around" lens, because of all this.  
Other photos seem to emphasize the telephoto capability.  I'm here to say that it's also a great close-up choice.  Not selling the DO or the macro, but I put them on the camera for their purpose, not grab shots.

Lens For All Reasons

I purchased my lens in 2015 and have been using it since.  I've taken hand-held photographs where object I wanted to get was moving fast.  The lens locked on in most instances, allowing me to get photos that would not be possible using other lenses.

Outstanding photography is easy with this lens.

Excellent wildlife lens. Fast focus! Tack sharp images and great color.

Tack sharp combined with my R5. Fast focus too!

Super lens -- super price -- can't go shooting without it!  Canon L series are the best IMHO.  This lens has increased in price by several hundred dollars post-pandemic.  Glad I got it when I did!

Super lens at a super Adorama price!

Have had this lens for two+ years now and it is one of my go-to pieces of glass.  Can't imagine how I went so long without it.  And to top it all off, I bought it on sale for about $1800 from Adorama which included a couple of really good Hoya filters.  The price of this lens has increased dramatically since my purchase so I am one happy customer!

Great lens -- super price -- super service!

The lens is awesome, and is going to be great for birds and wildlife. the tripod is solid and holds my camera and lens with ease. I couldnt be happier in the purchase!!!!

Awesome purchase

I couldn't believe how lightening fast this lens focused and the result is crystal clear photos even at cropped 50% or more. I have taken all my test pictures from my free hand with no tripod with incredible results. I cant wait to get out into the field and capture wildlife photos. I would have to believe that at long distances on the tripod that this lens will perform exactly to my hopes and expectations. Pricy but worth every penny as far as I am concerned!

Awesome lens

This was a gift for my daughter. She uses it for sports and nature photography and is delighted with it. Some of her pictures are amazing.

Top of the line lens.

Don?t regret the purchase of this beauty! Hasn?t let me down yet. I?m used to the weight now and most of the time don?t even use a tripod. Use it on my 5d mark IV as well as my 80D when I want that extra 1.6x?s reach. I use it for moon and sun photography as well as wildlife. Highly recommended!

Great telephoto lens!

Great lens for action in the field. Love it with a mono-pod when you don't want the additional 'stops' in 'stabilization' mode. It's definitely a high-end addition to the bag for us amateur types.

The wildlife grabber lens

I have received the lens and like it very much. I look forward to using it, especially this winter. Even though it was out of stock when I ordered it, got it reasonably quick. Thank you.

Received and used new lens.

This is a great lens for wildlife photography.

Perfect lens

There is just no comparison to this lens in this range. I have tried many different lenses and still come back to the 100-400L. It is by far the fastest and sharpest lens you can get in this range. I shoot a lot of sports and action photography as well as air shows and the success rate I have with good sharp photos with this lens is better than any other lens I have tried. I have put it against the Sigma 150-600 both the contemporary and the sports version. I have also tried the Tamron 150-600. They are good lenses and offer a slightly better reach but I find with the Canon lens I can always crop in on the image if needed because the quality of the image is good enough. 
I waited for years to finally make the purchase because of the cost but I definitely do not regret it. If you want the best and can afford it this is the lens for you.

You can't find a better lens in this range.

I use this lens primarily for bird and wildlife photography, and it works great.

Nice Lens

This is an amazing lens!  Adorama was great in getting it shipped out fast and in perfect condition

Great Lens

It was a great, sharp lens.  The only downside was not being able to use autofocus with an extender.
