EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
Strength:
This lens has a great range and is able to produce great results. This is something that can not be said of most zooms in this range. The image stabilization really works. I have very clear pictures taken at 300-400mm while at 1/30.
Weakness:
It is heavy. This is a real consideration before taking it out. I believe this is a great lens although a little expensive. There really aren't many choices out there. It has produced nothing but great results roll after roll. I find myself using it for shots that I would not have typically have thought that I would have used this lens for. Customer Service No experience with this - luckly. Similar Products Used: 28-135 USM IS, 85 USM |

EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
Strength:
Sharp and handholdable. I also like its zoom range. The panning IS mode is a great feature.
Weakness:
Too expensive. Lens too slow for portraits. Strictly for sports. For me, I'd rather get the EF70-200 f/2.8L USM and 2x Extender. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM IS |

EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
Strength:
Razor sharp pics throughout the zoom range from 100 to 400mm. Accurate contrast retention. The IS (image stabilizer) lets you take sharp handleld shots even at 300-400mm. The USM (ultrasonic motor) delivers fast, silent focussing.
Weakness:
None This is a great lens. Rugged, heavy duty metal body. It's a bit heavy though, and using a monopod makes life easier. Customer Service None needed. Similar Products Used: Canon EF 100-300mm L |
