Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?DAVID C : quality, simply quality of this lens.PATRICK M : I've been eyeing this lens for quite a while now. This particular bundle with the 2 Hoya filters was hard to pass up as they're worth ~$150 by themselves. I also trust Adorama as an online retailer so the choice in the end was easy to make.RYAN F : I have been eyeing this lens for years. I have rented it several times from lens rentals. I have also rented several other lenses from Sigma and Tamron to see if I would be happier with a less expensive lens. Nothing compares to this lens. It is faster and sharper than anything in this category. The less expensive lenses are good but if you want the best this is the way to go.MARK L : Previous experience with Canon "L" glass, and awareness of Canon quality.HENRY T : Price was the same on all websites but I chose this because of the filtersROBERT W : This is the Best 100-400 Lens made.

I have them but need a protective UV filter so I choose that bundle. The lens is something my husband has wanted for a while.JAMES B : I have owned a Sigma 120-400mm for several years and even with adjustment, it never produced sharp enough photos.

One of the best Canon EF Zoom lenses ever offered.

The 100-400ii EF L is an extremely fast focusing and very sharp lens what works well with my Canon R5ii. It also remains sharp with the Canon 1.4 EF II extender. It's a bit heavier than the newer 100-500 RF L lens but the build quality of the EF lens is top tier and with the extender, the 100-400 EFii allows for the full range of zoom where the 100-500 RF lens with the RF extender restricts the zoom range and the full retraction of the lens barrel. I also own the Canon 200-800 RF zoom which I also use for longer range reach. The two lenses provide all I need for long reach subjects.

The Fourth Lens in the Trinity

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.

Great lens

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.

Lens For All Reasons

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.

Outstanding photography is easy with this lens.

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.

Great lens -- super price -- super service!

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!

Awesome lens

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!

Great telephoto 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 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.

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

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.

Great sharpness and color rendition

By paul c.

After using the Canon 300mm L f4 for years, there was a learning curve to a zoom lens for my birding photography- not a fault of the lens, just me. And still working on getting the best from the combination of the 7d MkII with this lens and getting the best settings to make them work together best. Generally I'm in pretty good light and have learned to be less afraid of bumping up the ISO to get the best from this this lens, which sounds like the opposite approach but has really worked well. ...

A Lens You Should Consider!

The EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS II USM is an outstanding lens for several reasons. The overall build quality is superb and there are many beneficial features included with the lens. Zooming with the new rotational zoom ring is very smooth and the tension can be adjusted from loose, where the lens will extend out if the camera is held pointing down, to firm where the lens doesn't extend when held pointing down. When adjusted to the firmer setting the lens still zooms easily. The autofocus is ...

How can you capture the world with unparalleled clarity and precision The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens is the epitome of excellence in the realm of long telephoto lenses, engineered for the discerning professional photographer using full-frame Canon DSLRs. This lens has undergone a comprehensive redesign, integrating the latest advancements in image stabilization, autofocus, and lens construction to deliver superior image quality and lightning-fast AF performance.

Key Features of the Canon EF 100-400mm Lens:

1. Superior Optics: The lens boasts an Air Sphere Coating (ASC) on various elements to significantly reduce backlit flaring and ghosting, ensuring your images are clear even in challenging lighting. The inclusion of a fluorite element and a Super UD (Ultra Low Dispersion) element meticulously corrects aberrations, enhancing sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity.

2. Advanced Image Stabilization: The Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) is a game-changer, providing up to four stops of stabilization. This is crucial for maintaining image sharpness at long focal lengths where camera shake is magnified. With three selectable stabilization modes - standard, panning, and during exposure only - you can adapt to any shooting scenario with confidence.

3. Rapid and Quiet Autofocus: The upgraded Ultrasonic Motor (USM) and high-speed CPU, coupled with optimized AF algorithms, deliver a near-silent autofocus experience that is both swift and precise, ensuring you never miss a moment.

4. Customizable Zoom Control: The lens features a rotating zoom ring that allows for smooth adjustments to your zoom position. The zoom torque adjustment ring enables you to customize the level of tension on the zoom, tailoring it to your personal shooting style for a comfortable and precise operation.

5. Exquisite Bokeh: With nine rounded diaphragm blades, the lens is crafted to produce beautifully rounded specular highlights and a creamy bokeh effect. This creates a striking separation between your subject and the background, making your subject pop with a three-dimensional feel.

Included in this bundle is a Hoya 77mm UV+CPL Filter Kit to protect your lens and enhance image quality, a Cleaning Kit to keep your gear in top condition, and a Cleaning Cloth for smudge-free maintenance. Whether you're capturing the thrill of sports, the majesty of wildlife, or the dynamism of action photography, the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens, paired with this comprehensive bundle, is the ultimate choice for creating images that resonate with professional quality and detail.
