Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

Both APS-C and full-frame cameras are compatible with the Canon EF 100-400mm lens.
The EF 100-400mm lens has weather-resistant casing.
Even with the lens hood attached, you can still access the filters and adjust them.
The light sensitivity of f/5.6 at 400mm is limited.
The lens is relatively large and weighs 1590g, so it's recommended to use a tripod.

Description

Novice sports and nature photographers have been satisfied with the versatile Canon 100-400mm for years now. With the second version of this lens, Canon shows that it belongs in every camera bag. Canon got rid of the push and pull zoom system and replaced it with the more conventional rotating zoom ring. You still have the option to adjust the resistance of the zoom ring. This means that every sports and nature photographer can adjust the accuracy of the lens to their liking. Another important improvement is the image stabilization. As you can expect from a real sports lens, the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM now has 4 stabilization stops. As a result, you can take handheld photos in many more situations.

Incredibly sharp telephoto zoom

Sharp!
Good design (focus ring in front, twist system instead of push-pull)
Full time manual focus
Canon price

The sharpness of the photos with this lens is unsurpassed. I use the lens on a 1.6 crop sensor camera, but there are absolutely no visible imperfections in this lens. What is also important to report; the sharpness lasts over the entire zoom range, so not just at the extremes. In practice, the IS really gives a good 3 to 4 stops extra.

I really can't think of any negatives for this lens, apart from the too high Canon price (which we are used to).

Razor-sharp images
Weight is limited, so it's great to shoot handheld
Good stabilization
Zoom function goes up to max. 400

Super happy with this lens. Much sharper than the lens I had before. Also lighter, so easier to shoot handheld. I mainly use it for wildlife photography. For that he is completely worth the money. The main reason why I hesitated for a long time is that the zoom function only goes up to 400. However, because the quality of the images is so much higher, extra cropping afterwards is no problem.

Perfect & efficient IS function (4 stops of gain). Nice pictures even at 400mm. Easy to operate. Efficient Auto-Focus. Compact considering the range. Largest aperture not perfect 4.5-5.6, but for this kind of telephoto zoom...
