The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 USM L IS is a fairly old design dating back to the late 90s. I still remember those days when I used it on an EOS 1n ... with film if you remember those good 'ol days. Well, time goes by but it's still here - despite a...
Bottom line The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 USM L IS is almost a boring lens but in a positive sense. It shows no extreme weaknesses nor strengths. You will find sharper lenses - primes that is - but it is very sharp for a zoom lens, especially considering its 4...

The Canon EF 100-400/4.5-5.6L IS USM is Canons premium telephoto zoom lens. It competes with the EF 300/4L IS and the EF400/5.6L prime lenses as a telephoto and with the EF 70-300/4-5.6IS as a wide range telephoto zoom. In this series of tests I sh...

There are many "alternatives" to the 100-400, and for sure it is not the right lens for everyone. If you dont need a lot of reach, and you want the best quality, the 70-200 f/2.8 IS is the best choice. Otherwise, if you dont mind size and...

The Canon 100-400mm IS L is a very high performance ultra-telephoto zoom. It's also a huge bargain because it's been in Canon's catalog for a while, so it's an incredible deal today for an ultrasharp super long zoom.The 100-400 is a fully professional L l...

A favorite of wildlife and action photographers, Canon's EF100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM is a well-specified and versatile model. However, as it approaches sixteen years in production, is it still capable of competing with more modern offerings? Read on to f...
