Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS III USM

Pros: Weight, sharpness, autofocus, balance

Cons: Price

Opinion: I recently bought this lens finding a bargain on used and for now I have tested it on 1dxiii in terms of smooth sharpness and with the 2xiii extender, comparing it with the 400 2.8 IS first series, with the 600 ii, 300 2.8 IS first series and 400 DO ii. The sharpness is always exceptional, smooth is superb, with a blur as nice as the 2.8 first series, silky I would say. Duplicated, the sharpness at f/5.6 remains fantastic and the performance in terms of autofocus speed remains excellent, lightning fast. Handheld it is perfectly usable for the weight but, above all, for the balance that shifts the weight towards the camera body. The new price, however, is unfortunately only for professionals in the F1 or MotoGP circus. For me excellent for itinerant use in the mountains for the weight and for the handheld usability, in practice a very sharp, very fast and very light 800 f/5.6. For larger subjects, such as ibex or chamois, used straight is a spectacle for sharpness and blur.

Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS USM

Pros: Sharpness, blurring, detachment of planes, autofocus

Cons: The weight, but was born to be used with monopod in sport or on tripod or beanbag in naturalistic photography

Opinion: The sharpness of this dream lens is amazing at full-time, which is even more incredible considering it's a 1999 project. I own the 300 2.8 IS of the same series and I had the 500 f/4 IS, but this lens I would say that in sharpness it is even higher. With multipliers it performs very well but not like the 600 f/4 series II. At 1.4 the autofocus remains fast while slowing down with the 2X but the sharpness remains very good and improves by closing by a stop. The blurry that it produces at 2.8 leaves you speechless, the backgrounds look like silk, the detachment of the subjects is incredible. It is a lens that has a unique charm and should be used smooth to take advantage of all its qualities.
