Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Wildlife shooting with 100-400mm
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this lens for several years...it is indispensable for shooting wildlife...especially in Africa that I visit every year. Attached to my Canon 40D (I'm now using 7D) it gives me comparable 160-640mm focal length and I only use it on camera that has 1.6 sensor 'conversion'. Pictures are excellent...Image Stabilization is essential. Yes, it's heavy, but I could not be without it. I do a lot of hand held shooting and also use a monopod when beanbags not available. I use Canon 28-300mm IS lens on Canon 5D Mark II when long lens not needed. 1:1 on 5D II is great, and 28-300 covers most situations. Yes, the 28-300mm lens is also heavy, but this senior lady is used to carrying it, and the versatility of 28-300 range is fabulous, so I never need more than 2 lenses to tote in a rolling camera bag. When not toting long 100-400, I put a 17-35 on one body as a backup.
