Product Overview

Canon EF 400mm F4 DO IS II USM is a professional super telephoto prime lens for Canon EF-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Canon in 2014, it has 18 elements in 12 groups.
Photographers will be pleased by the fact that the lens is internally-zooming, meaning that the barrel does not extend when the focal length is changed. This helps balance and weather sealing; it is also great for long-term durability, as there is less chance for moisture and dirt to get in. For incremental weathers, Canon is kind enough to include weather sealing.
As a super telephoto prime lens, the Canon EF 400mm F4 DO IS II USM is a specialty instrument best suited for professional sports and wild-life photographers. 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.
