The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on December 03, 2018 Pros: Versatility, innovative, has opened a new segment of focal hike Cons: Heavy if compared to the new Tamron and Sigma (1/3 stop more dark, that's not the reason) Opinion: Reliable lens, a good gregarious, so I'd feel like defining it. Great for nothing, good for everything: use it in the circuit and it makes you all right, but of course it excels in nothing compared to other zoom 2.8 or longer lenses (like the 600mm F4). Excellent also for landscape for the infinite composition possibilities that it offers. In conclusion, a good/excellent lens, at the price of today's used, if you find a specimen in good/excellent condition and you intend to keep canon long, it is a bargain! You will only sell it when you change brand (because it will happen sooner or later:P) |
  | sent on August 16, 2017 Pros: Sharpness, zoom, versatility. Cons: Tropicalization Opinion: Hi everyone I reconsider this lens I tried with my Canon 6d reflex, and i have to say that it is very practical and versatile i would recommend it for avifauna or very versatile birds zooming unlike bigger brother than 400mm you have to turn the ring While this has a much faster zoom and so you can be much more responsive. Also tested with a 1.4x extender of the third series loses AF automation. However to have its age this objective I have to say that a very clear lens and very good results !! |
 | sent on March 16, 2016 Pros: convenience, zoom range, price, quality Cons: blurred very hard. Opinion: What can we say .... A great super telephoto L series "handyman": weight and dimensions allow you to carry it anywhere. Sharpness is really high with aps-c that FF 1.3x that of the old series 1. Fast and precise AF. Stabilizer useful even if the first generation, but it can always come in handy. The I promote with flying colors as a must-have in a Canon kit for price and performance. |
  | sent on December 29, 2014 Pros: Clarity, practicality, absolute quality of the image even at maximum zoom range. Effective stabilization, fast AF. A handyman valuable traveling and beyond. Cons: Unbalanced to the maximum length (to be picky ...), often need to eliminate the dust that settles on the lenses inside, hardening in the long period of dials and manual focus. Opinion: A true wonder, to recommend ever in an ideal kit Canon. The fluorite is seen in the results, by definition amazing images and colors, I loved it as much as I liked the Nikon 80-200 f.2,8 in my previous kit. The weight at this point is a defect negligible; I am curious to know the version II in what could be better. |
 | sent on December 28, 2014 Pros: Its compactness and light weight considering the focal reachable, construction, supplied accessories, stabilizer first generation but useful Cons: 400 my copy was not very clear, in my view, the locking system Zoom pump is cumbersome, it takes two hands to block the ring Opinion: I bought it used and taking a few months, sold only to finance other purchases. I would say that the best quality of this lens is definitely its compactness and lightness especially considering the focal length that reaches and its construction of a professional level. The thing that I've never been convinced is the sharpness in general never sublime and the further decline in the maximum focal length, with a focus on the long distance between the other and usually also the most used. It must be said that maybe this could be a defect in particular specimen in my possession that was an old building (2006), perhaps in the newer models canon corrected something. However if you find a good sample used in my opinion is a good deal if you do not pay more than a thousand euro. Now there are alternatives with a focal length that reaches 600 mm but are larger and heavier lenses. Then there is the new canon 100-400, same features as the old but best at everything. It appears from the on-line test of photozone particularly successful but costs almost2000 euro. |
 | sent on June 27, 2014 Pros: Versatility, zoom pump, small Cons: It is not always clear, blurry unwatchable to 400mm, collects dust Opinion: I'm using it for hunting camera for a year now, it is very versatile and allows you to bring home more shots than with a fixed (depends on where you go), is when Peccole size to 100mm and fits easily in your backpack, zoom in pump to me like there is for those who do not like ... but sometimes I just can not figure it out, every time you change something in the harbor at 400mm maf, and I notice when I do a lot of quick moves from 100 to 400 .. . stabilizer do not use it hardly ever except on rare occasions, it is not always clear, just a ray of sunshine in most and creates a patina throughout the picture, the focus is, in my opinion, really horrible, grainy and dry, in more than a few days after the purchase I noticed dust inside, the front lens ... say that again, he would really need an upgrade from Canon |
 | sent on June 25, 2014 Pros: From 100 to 400 in a single optical system to pump much faster than the classical ring, sharpness up to 300 to TA, solid and sturdy tripod mount ring very useful, relatively small and easily transportable. Cons: Opinion: First "serious" lens to me I used rented for eight days in order to photograph animals in a safari in kenya lasted 5 days. What can I say, I was very impressed with this light dall'efficenza whereas now has 17 years'; very good sharpness already at room temperature (from 100 to 300 mm) improves significantly when stopped down to f / 7.1-8. The pump system I found it quite versatile for action shots, although, as indeed many, I prefer the normal zoom ring. The usm is very quiet (as you would expect from a lens of this kind) and fast, especially with the limiting distances enabled. It looks robosto and well built, with materials qualità.rnPer As far as the cons say that, in my opinion the locking ring, it is very inconvenient, but really as uncomfortable, not only in fact rotates with the focus ring to focus if the latter is not holding it steady with one hand while turning the other, but requires the use of both hands to be unlocked, which keeps you upemployed to interact with the lens when instead you could take beautiful photos. Very functional idea would be to insert another lever (such as that of the SI "on / off") to make the locking of the pump system is much more versatile and efficient. There are also three other factors that must also be considered before the purchase of the aforesaid optical system, such as the stabilizer of 1st generation ensures that barely two to three stop advantage, the absence of sealing (often photographing before the rains I had to put away the lens even if there were two lions back to the jeep, for fear that the optics should fail) and the softness of the images in TA with a range of focal lengths greater than 350mm. Finally, other defects, in my opinion, very superficial, I'm in the hood without plastic finish, the tripod ring removable only by the detachment of the camera body and the diaphragm relatively dark (superficial because if you want more you should steer on optical level much higher as the 120-300 os hsm sigma) .rnIn definitiva I was very pleased with the rental of this perspective that allowed me to take pictures that would be impossible. Rating: 8.7 / 10 seems too little for a lens, it is not without its flaws, but that has allowed many beautiful photos to forum users. In my opinion it is a view that if taken at the price of EUR 1000-900, also used, deserves a lot of attention. rnVoto 9.5 / 10 |
 | sent on May 20, 2014 Pros: range of focal lengths, image quality, good compactness / weight in relation to the focal copertern Cons: stabilizer of the older generation, to remove the collar you have to remove the lens from the camera body, not constant aperture at all focal lengths, no weather sealing Opinion: One of the few that adopt an optical zoom mechanism to pump, from which the colloquial name of "Pompone". Although the project is still not dated and renewed perspective is almost unique (although universal optical manufacturers over the years have begun to provide alternatives) for tele focal range of indoor and image quality remained almost constant at all focal lengths. Also interesting is the price in relation to quality and practicality. The mechanism for zooming pump, which you get used quickly, it is intuitive and allows you to move with extreme speed from a focal another: very useful in action photography. The robustness and build quality is typical of professional goals (L) Canon. |
 | sent on May 01, 2014 Pros: Excursion of Focal great, all in all not very heavy, operating speed, buys and sells used without losing much. Minimum distance of MAF remarkable. Cons: Stabilizer dated but still helps, lack of weather sealing, a little 'dark but still manageable. The pump system is something they need a little 'getting used to and that "pulls in" potentially a little' dust. Opinion: Honest perspective, that plays very well his job. Great for wildlife, trekking and excellent companion fixed lenses like 600mm and 500mm focal length of the tour ... and the minimum distance of MAF make it ideal to be attached to the lens placed on a super telephoto 400mm treppiede.rnPrima had an excellent 5 6 replaced with the 100-400 when I took the 600mm f4: I needed dynamism and so I made the change. Everyone told me that I would regret to death the sharpness of the 100-400 400ino and instead proved to be a loyal companion, who made me rimpiangere.rnOttica definitely recommended if you already have a super-telephoto fixed focal length. If you already have a zoom on the other hand, I would recommend the 400 5.6 for faster AF. RnVenduto in favor of the new Tamron 150-600 to stretch further and have a zoom from travel, to leave the house directly to 5kg of 600 when The situation requires various boarding ... |
 | sent on April 29, 2014 Pros: the price and a good reselling Cons: a bit 'slow in AF focus and not exactly light. The fact that it does not facilitate a pump, but with practice you can do. Carrying this lens with the shoulder strap side is not easy, it should lock and then you lose the rapidity in the case of using fast. Opinion: all in all I would recommend it because it is also perhaps one of the few that can be used for hunting camera without one should svenare. It Pulo use also with the multiplier 1.4 canon, the speed of focus decreases even though ....... when needed there. I have bought the 300 sotituendo Canon too short to hunt. |
 | sent on March 27, 2014 Pros: Focal length and scope especially if tool works on APSC. Relatively low price for a L series optics, and not too heavy. Af-type full-time and regular permettemdi always meas Cons: Is a bit dated compared to other L series currently on the market. Lack of tropicalizazione. Quality 400 a bit small. A little dark but you can not want it all. Stabilizer nonndi last generation but still does a good job. Opinion: The lens is very good and is certainly a lens that is useful to have in your kit photos for nature and sports use. This objective and equipped with the zooming in and you have to pump because abbituarsi it or hate it or you love it and in my humble opinion and comfortable enough for the birds to esmpio because I find it more convenient to follow the subject so as to zoom more quickly. |
 | sent on February 07, 2014 Pros: Price / quality ratio - Sharpness - to speed - the speed zoom - Focal hike - resale value (if you sell) - The optimal allocation (tripod ring and semi-rigid bag) Cons: Is a bit 'dated, it's true .. But it works benernPesornPoco bright, but you can not expect the mondornPossibile dirty all'internornL'usato has unrealistic prices. Only 200/300euro waste from new. If you buy a drain Opinion: Many people compare him to the Sigma 150-500. Fools. I got them both and there is NO comparison possible between the two. The canon is slightly smaller, weighs half as much, has a much higher quality of construction, the bayonet no wobbles (which, however, often make the sigma), the af is much faster and more precise, the range of focal length 100 -400 is much more usable 150-500.rnrnChe say .. for some time, I used a 70-200 f4 smooth with pride. Small, light and sharp. Now I purchased the 100-400 and I'm loving it. Compared to the 70-200 is slightly less crisp and sharp, but much faster as making fuoco.rnrnIl zoom system pump did not convince me at all, however once you try it I discovered that it is a bomb. If you think about it, the ring is great when you have an excursion to focus not too exaggerated, or to make a quick transition from the smallest to the largest focal length it takes two full turns (as with sigma 150-500). With questo the system instead you can go from 100 to 400 in a fraction of secondo.rnrnChe say: if you do not have money for super telephoto from 6000 € + and you want a zoom lens, the 100-400 is the standard for voi.rnMolti ago propose to use the 70-200 f2.8 and duplicate it. The question is: why spend € 2,000 and € 500 lens multiplier (then multiply by a 200 seems ridiculous to me) when the half brought home this toy? RnrnResto available for any clarification :) |

 | sent on December 08, 2013 Pros: Versatile, compact and lightweight. Af fast and stabilizer though not of the latest generation still very good and fairly quiet. Pump system. Cons: None in particular. Opinion: I kept this lens less than a year, why I was not hurt but because the monkey 300 2.8 IS I won ... rnHo had a chance to use it for two weeks on safari in Botswana and I have to say that I was very pleased. The pump system I find it extremely comfortable and go from 100 to 400 mm and really a matter of tenths of a second. Closed is the size of the 70-200 f4 so it is comfortable. On 6d only slightly unbalanced forward to full extension. Although the project is a few years old, I find it a sharp lens and still unique as versatility and at this price. |
 | sent on August 25, 2013 Pros: versatility, lightness, clarity, speed and distance short of focus. Cons: imbalance forward at maximum focal length, zoom "pump", discomfort of the ring for manual focus. Opinion: At full aperture (f/5.6) and the maximum focal length (400mm) delivers sharp images, even in low light. It 's definitely a lens very versatile and handy, especially if you practice moving nature photography and hiking. Like anything significant drawbacks, but overall it is a great lens that lends itself to different needs. |

 | sent on July 17, 2013 Pros: Focal length, Af suddenly (especially with limiter on), sharp already wide open, stabilizer, light weight, price stability over the years. Cons: Do not weather sealed Opinion: The pump system has left me puzzled at the time of purchase, but I changed my mind, it is particularly convenient and fast, you should familiarize yourself with the clutch is not always easy to adjust. The focus is extremely fast and, above all, accurate. Compared with similar goals is very light and allows a good use freehand and use prolungato.rnCostruttivamente is very nice and solid. The housing is great (the belt is unsatisfactory, better change it) is included the lens hood, the latter, however, is a bit 'cumbersome to insert and easily ruin the plastic front nera.rnComplessivamente is a lens guessed it, also retains its value in time (which is important if one day you want to replace it with a 400 fixed). |

Since I have not the detachment greater from the camera because I'm realizing that with the canon 24-105mm lens attached to the Canon 5D can cover a large area of ??focus that allows me to get by in almost all circumstances. In my opinion it is worth all the money spent recommended!! |
 | sent on March 18, 2013 Pros: Using freehand, versatility, compactness, Min focus distance Cons: Soft at room temperature, dim, not weather sealed L series Opinion: I purchased the POMPONE to start to dedicate myself to photo hunt together with a APS-C. The alternative (to the same budget) was the 5.6 L 400 and being able to go back, just buy it with your eyes closed. The "POMPONE" is very versatile but in the end I found myself using the optical prevalemntemente to 400mm (which are 380mm effective). At full aperture the file oven is a bit 'soft and had to close at f / 8 for maximum performance. The AF I always found responsive. The lens is stabilized and can compensate for a couple of stops and the minimum distance of focus (1.8 m) is very good for macro. The pump system found it very useful, along with a weight and the diminutive size, is a super zoom that you can carry everywhere. On the other hand even compared to 400 that is fixed, multiplied, it is not up to its competitor which is always more than valid. If you are looking for a versatile lens the POMPONE is right for you, altriments, ??for birds, I strongly suggest the 400 5.6 L. |
 | sent on February 14, 2013 Pros: compact zoom pump limiter af value in used Cons: Stabilizer is not the latest generation, lack of sealing, a bit dated Opinion: I bought it to replace the newer, lighter and less expensive Tamron SP 70-300 f/4-5.6 af vc usd for the sole purpose of having those 100 mm more often that I missed and hoping to improve the quality of my glass. Definition of maniac I run my own tests immediately tripod comparing the 100-400 with tamron. Between 100 and 200 mm are indistinguishable both at f/4.5 that f / 8 and would not be able to recognize the photos if not conditioned by the reading of the data. From 200 to 300 at room temperature the canon has a good advantage that increases with focal length while closing af/7.1-8, where the canon pulls out his best, the difference becomes significant. I tested it with extension tubes to improvise a macro 200 mm and is not too bad and definitely sharper the tamron in this field and the zoom lock is useful. The stabilizer is very dated and the autofocus is not as if lightning is not active limiter focal accustomed to tammy the degresso feels. To convince me to keep it and then make my zoom preferito were the size, the weight is not too much that you can use for hours, the fabulous zoom pump (Fluent in chases), good image quality between 200 and 300 mm and a decent quality from 300 up .

Opinion: One of the most successful Canon, and maybe even one of those who has sold more! RnMolto versatile, can be used by the photographic safari to portrait from landscape to close up. The autofocus is very fast and accurate, especially with the limiter inserted, is more difficult when he has to engage in a subject close to minimum focusing distance (1.8 m). RnLo zoom pump I find it convenient, is quick, and allows a rapidly changing composition even during the course of an action dinamica.rnLo stabilizer has two faces: it is an advantage that there is, as it allows you to shoot static subjects also 2 stop under the safety limit, but it is a flaw that both only two stops and four stop as those of the latest generation (limit still acceptable given the price is not excessive, especially used, and the age of the project). rnrnOttica consigliatissima to all lovers of nature and / or sport. |

 | sent on October 03, 2012 Pros: Zoom Versatile, good quality image if diaphragmed slightly, well built and solid, not too heavy, good hood and housing; zoom mechanism to pump handy once "learned" Cons: Lack tropicalization, is used almost always to 400mm, not 100mm F4; stabilizer a bit 'dated - only 2 Stop Opinion: I chased a long time and then bought to start making photo hunt, used a couple of times, and I was amazed a lot; Central with the 7D I did EXTREMELY sharp photos, using a short time returned sharpness that I did not expect to what I had read (it helps to hinder, my difficulty with the shake of the 7D). It is not too heavy for the type of zoom, I come from a 70-300 F4-5, 6 IS (not L series) and the difference is noticeable. For people like me who does not have very firm hand, maybe the new versions of stabilization from Stop 3-4 would help a lot, 400mm and freehand I can not always immobilize. I think the photo is the first animal to be taken zoom (in competition with fixed 400 F5, 6), and then decide if you are just 400mm, with a view to super telephoto focal sets. Excellent and recommended the riprenderei on the fly! |
 | sent on July 12, 2012 Pros: Verastilità and dimensions. AF Good but not great .. Cons: Over all, the sharpness at 400mm TA. Not tropicalized Opinion: I had the 100-400 for a long time and I used it a lot .. My choice fell on this because I was afraid of the lack of IS 400 6.5 .. behold, I am sorry and I sold it for the fact that it is fixed on other levels. If you want a versatile tele 100-400 This [u] is [/ u] the choice to make, there are not any better at a price quite acceptable. The clarity in TA I have never made a fool, indeed, is why I sold it. AF, although fast, is not to the levels of the usual 400 5.6 but it is undoubtedly very good as well as the minimum distance of the fixed maf forgets .. In short, it is a good lens "generic" I was wrong to buy .. |
 | sent on June 29, 2012 Pros: quality, versatility, weight and size, pump system fast, price and value in the used market Cons: not tropicizzato, tripod ring a little too short (longer if you could use better as a carrying handle) Opinion: I have this lens for the past 6 months and it's my first paintings that I use mainly for birds and animals. I find it great for quality and versatility. I think of the many times can trade with a fixed (400 F5.6 / 300 f4), but then I always understood the situation "on the ground" that makes me change my mind. quality, although not to the levels of fixed, it seems really good, and when we learn to know gives great satisfaction. pump system is very fast and I have not found probblemi dust sucked. Bought used keeps the market well and you can sell when you want to monetize for a new purchase or a replacement. For those who want to enter the world of nature photography and want a great lens quality and versatility, and can not afford the monsters from thousands of euros is the right purchase. one day I will probably take away the satisfaction of taking a fixed, but in the meantime I'm enjoying the POMPONE. |
| sent on May 12, 2012 Pros: Versatile zoom convenient to operate, rugged, compact when stowed stabilization. Cons: Sharpness is not exceptional at RT, IS a bit 'dated, not very responsive AF. Opinion: I own this lens and also the 400 f/5.6. The comparison between the two is unforgiving. I use the "POMPONE" as the lens for travel, because it takes up less space and because being zoom fulfills several functions. At the end is a lens which, while not exceptional, behaves well in a wide range of applications. |
user579  | sent on February 29, 2012 Pros: Fast autofocus limiter, sharpness across the range even at room temperature, keeping the market price, zoom system pump, versatility of use, weight, colors and contrast, few AC. Cons: Stabilizer dated, construction that allows the ingress of dust under the lens, tripod ring minimal that does not allow easy transport (sigma offers some real style handles "suitcase"), bokeh hard and even little nervous when you close the diaphragm (only 5 plates). Opinion: I bought it to replace the Canon 70-200 f4 and the Sigma 150-500 which began in the backpack to be heavy and which in one way or another in turn remained motionless in his backpack. This lens has surprised me, has an excellent optical quality (dowry that not all declared, perhaps due to the variability of the specimens) and an excellent autofocus (better than my ex-sigma 150-500). Bought used at a good price, it has the great gift to hold markets, this combination provides the purchaser with a minimum loss in the event of resale (dowry no small feat in these times of crisis). Overall, I think largely satisfied with the purchase. |

RNAs that regard, the pump system integrates seamlessly with the fastest AF lens that offers this in all modes: I use this lens mostly on the EOS 7D and this is coupled with an impeccable AF system, able to correctly recognize any soggetto.rnL 'only flaw lies in the stabilizer, which is a bit' dated and must be turned off with the camera on a tripod ( it is often forgotten): Another small flaw is the lack of weather sealing, which necessitates the use of plastic bags in the rain, to prevent droplets infiltrate into the optics reducing the focale.rnrnCaldamente recommended! |
 | sent on November 23, 2011 Pros: Versatility, low weight, minimum focusing distance 1.8 mt. Cons: To get the best, you need to close at least two stopovers of tropicalization, AF on fast-acting fast-acting subjects. Opinion: I personally use it 99% to 400mm (although it seems to me that it is not 400mm effective but something less ...) and I'm quite satisfied ... In my opinion the best performance this optics has with subjects not far away and In good light, otherwise unfortunately we have to go on brighter loudspeakers ... with distant subjects if you need to cropped the image is often unclear and confused .... another thing to improve is the AF not particularly responsive but All in all acceptable. Many of them have overcome this gap by bringing it in service ... we will see ... rnmio personal vote 7,5rn |
 | sent on October 12, 2011 Pros: Versatile, compact, autofocus Cons: Image stabilization dated Opinion: Ideal lens for the "hunt" camera, the focal length range from 100 to 400 mm allows for optimal shots in almost any situation. Objective lightweight and compact that you can safely carry and use even while hiking in the mountains where the extra weight can become a problem. And 'soft at 400mm and wide open, is greatly improved by closing f / 8. The autofocus is very fast, specialamente when used with the limit 6.5m-infinity. After a first approach zoom pump becomes a quick and insostitubile for photos elusive animals in the shot where speed is everything. A "defect" that is not actually bound to optics is the tripod collar which is very close to optics and makes it difficult, especially with gloves, the use as a carrying handle. |
user493 | sent on September 29, 2011 Pros: Weight, versatility Cons: Lack of tropicalization Opinion: Unique and exceptional optical, zoom pump fast once you get used (ten shots), it goes from 100 to 400 mm in 1 second. A little 'soft over 300mm wide open, but made amends for the fact that groups of the same class with 2-3 lenses, IS very good despite being "old", excellent focus. |
 | sent on September 27, 2011 Pros: Professional by the excellent optical performance, versatility, size and weight, quiet and fast autofocus. minimum distance of focus from small canvases. Zoom system to pump very suitable for photo hunting, but mostly used in many, many situations. Great for traveling photography, affordable especially for the amateur world. Cons: The lack of tropicalization makes it delicate under certain environmental conditions. Image stabilizer of the first generation. Surely if he had a diaphragm instead of F4 F 3,5:5,6 would be at the Top of the optics. Opinion: I bought it specifically to take pictures of wildlife, particularly birds, Although not a very bright lens in the short and medium distances has positive effect on the levels of detail and sharpness enviable. Also applies to views, is a truly multi-purpose lens that brings together 3/4 goals in one. Its limits if you really want to see them emerge use in low ambient light. In conclusion I can only consider myself very satisfied, so this zoom will always be part of my camera kit. Rating 9 |
 | sent on September 26, 2011 Pros: Great versatility, sharpness from 100 to 300 mm, autofocus, price, weight. Cons: a little soft at 400 mm, dim, stabilization, quality bokeh. Opinion: I love this goal, it is great especially for the low weight that allows you to carry it easily, draft dated but still very good from 100mm to 300mm at room temperature is 400 you have to close to 1-2 stop. The well-known pump system is invaluable for stalking, but for other types of "hunting" does not go so well, such as from the shed and tripod, the stabilizer of the first generation, which is still very valid, should be disabled and makes you make only one stop .... Recommended! will not regret your purchase. |
 | sent on September 25, 2011 Pros: Versatility; relative lightness and compactness; minimum distance of focus Cons: A little dated Opinion: I also belong to those who love the 100-400 and its zoom system which is particularly fast, accurate and also allows you to challenge the lens always firmly in the socket without turning to zoom. The sharpness is good at all apertures and all focal lengths, even landlines can clearly give a little more, but it would take at least 4 goals to do everything that you can do with only 100-400. The bokeh is not comparable to that of a 2.8 to 400mm but all in coverage has given me much satisfaction from this point of view. Probably would be doing an update of the optical system and the stabilizer of the first generation, but it remains still a very good lens. Recommended! |
 | sent on September 25, 2011 Pros: Quick Zoom (pump), versatility, usability freehand Cons: Quality bokeh; Planning dated (improved both optically as stabilization) Opinion: I, like many love the 100-400 mainly because of its versatility. An African safari can do it for instance with a standard zoom and telephoto zoom lens with no regrets this effectiveness in the frame. Certainly the blur that guarantees a 300 f2.8 for example, is a result far from its potential. But do not look at this canvas that can not give (excellent quality). This tele is mainly used as insurmountable (to date) tele-zoom travel. Able to capture details of landscape, portraits stolen, animals, etc ... For each of the tasks that will entrust there are at least 5-6 lenses that are better, but none of them does everything that allows the 100-400 in this price range with a weight of only 1.4 kg. NB: I did not put in the counter aperture is not really bright, because it is a limit can not be overcome if we are to contain dimensions, weight and cost. |
 | sent on September 25, 2011 Pros: Versatility, sharpness, short distance of half a fire. Cons: Lack of tropicalization Opinion: And 'one of the two pump zoom in the Canon line up (the other is the 28-300 3.5-5.6L). Zoom in on the pump there is little to say ... or you hate them or love them: I belong to the latter category. Excellent up to 300mm, very good at 400mm, while remaining completely usable TA get maximum performance when diaphragmed a couple of stops. Good AF speed, excellent minimum focusing distance which makes it also suitable for close-up, good stabilizer (first generation, ergo the tripod is off), the 100-400 is one of the objectives that optically not excel in anything, but at the same time when you do without it you miss because there is nothing else on the market that combines both lightness, versatility and image quality for some uses (such as African safaris) are 100-400 of a "killer lens." |
