400MM F2.8 L IS USM - A Lens For Sports Photograph

The RF400mm F2.8 L IS USM lens has been a work horse when it comes to shooting football photography. The clarity and reach have been instrumental in capturing those ever sought after action shots. It took time to adjust to the weight and how to use it with a monopod. I still have one issue that I haven't been able to figure out and that is periodically the lens will go out of focus. I use AF and when this issue occurs, I switch to manual focus, refocus, then switch back to AF.

Worth Every Penny

I've been shooting razor blades ever since I got this monster. Super sharp, contrast value is amazing, light weight and superior overall performance. I was fortunate, my daughter bought it for me as a gift. Very few photographers will be able to produce the same quality whenever you shoot it. I use this lens with an R3 or R6 Mark II unbelievable. I don't get any Birthday or Christmas presents for a few years but I'm good with that. Canon has really separated themselves from the competition with this one.

Jaw dropping images

it's been almost a year since I bought this. It is worth every penny; I have used for sport and images are jaw dropping. I have even taken it for astrophotography! yes Astro! for deep sky images, the far galaxies are tack sharp. I took to the zoo and will be taking on Safari next week. It is lighter than you might expect a lens this size to be, it can be handheld (not for long) but it can be. It is a luxury item as said in other reviews. But once you get it, you realize it is a necessity for great images. Love, love, love it! Thank you canon!

Expensive vs. Valuable

In life there are things that are expensive and there are things that are valuable. This lens is a luxury item, no question. But it performs so well for low light sports and other important situations. I love the light weight and performance of the AF. If you're in the market for this lens, you won't regret it.

Extremely sharp

Bought this about a month ago and this lens is take sharp. Con: it?s a bit heavy for someone in my old age to hand-hold this beast, but I still love this beauty.
