Product Overview
Canon EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS II USM is a super telephoto zoom lens for Canon EF-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Canon in 2014, it has 21 elements in 16 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Canon EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS II USM is externally-zooming. Fortunately, Canon has provided a zoom lock that at least stops zoom creep. For incremental weathers, Canon is kind enough to include weather sealing.
As a super telephoto zoom lens, the Canon EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS II USM can be quite useful for wild-life and landscape photography. Built-in image stabilization is almost a must-have at this focal range, and this lens does not disappoint on this front. Owners will also like the available tripod collar.
