Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM Review
The lens is one of the best zoom lens. He not only has a wide range of focal lengths, but also a very high quality and sharp picture. A special feature of the lens is the lack of zoom ring, changing the focal length by the movable part of the lens and its specific fixation ring. This design allows you to quickly change focal area, immediately go from 100mm to 400mm.
The lens is equipped with image stabilization system that allows the images to it with a long focal length with high shutter speeds. This feature is especially useful when shooting stationary objects hiding wildlife birds and animals. Although its luminosity and makes it refer to the class of “dark” (at 100mm f/4.5 and 250mm F/5.6 is drop), they can not compete with 70-200mm f/2.8, but the “low” makes luminosity, is more than an additional 200mm and image stabilization compensates.
Because such a wide range of focal lengths, the lens has no competition among other Canon lenses. Cheaper analog part can be considered to be 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM.

The lens has a very good sharpness across the zoom range, but at 400mm, from 8 aperture blades, can be a very nice bokeh.
On a full-size matrix, from about 250mm, the corners of the frame small chromatic aberration. The basic shortcoming of the lens – vignetting, almost invisible to the matrices with crop factor and seen clearly in the full-size matrices.
The lens works with the struggle for a wider range of focal lengths (Extender EF 1.4x II Canon Extender EF 2x II) only in MF mode. This brightness decreases, so its use to justify themselves.
Closest focusing distance 1.8m. The body of the switch is present, the minimum focusing distance of 1.8m to 6m, which is very convenient. The diameter of a filter – 77mm.

Scope of the lens, despite its “low” intensity, very broad, not only in places with good lighting (Safari, Airshow) but also in the landscape photography, where speed is not a particularly important focus and ultra-endurance. For the 100mm lens offers beautiful landscape genre pictures. The presence of the stabilizer and the 400mm makes it possible to use them on camera. Number of birds in their natural habitat have been with this lens.
The combination of a wide range of focal lengths in one lens from 100mm to 400mm plus excellent image quality make this lens one of the best lenses Canon.
