Pros: Extremely sharp and contrasty, excellent IS, fast accurate focusing and minimum focusing distance. Adapts well to the Canon 1.4x III tele-converter.Cons:
Cons: Occasional purple fringing on high-contrast subjects. Tripod collar not removable. Expensive in South Africa @ ZAR 39,695-00.
Opinion: Very well thought out lens from Canon. I emediant love the lens when I first used it. Being a non push pull zoom keeps ones hand in the same position for better stabilising the lens. I had the version 1 with which I was not happy with. It can be a bit short at the long end for photographing wildlife and birds but it pairs well with the newest 1.4 converter from Canon.
Pros: Extremely sharp and contrasty, portable, takes the Canon 1.4x III tele-converter well, fast accurate focusing, excellent IS (image stabilization), and the minimum focus distance is 1 meter.
Cons: Occasional purple fringing on high-contrast subjects. Bokeh isn't as nice as a prime, of course (but it isn't terrible). I wish the tripod collar was removable. Expensive.
Opinion: This is the best tele-zoom I've ever used. It is an improvement in every way over the original 100-400. It is sharper, faster focusing, more accurate, has better stabilization, and handles the 1.4x TC III well. However, the best feature for me is the 1m close focus (1/3 life size at 400mm), which lets me get closer to frogs than before. While the bigger faster super-teles have advantages, this is the best portable tele available for Canon. I've used the original 70-200 f/2.8L IS, 300f/4L, original 100-400L... the 100-400 mark II is better than all of them... except the 300/f4L is smaller/lighter. None of the other lenses I listed are bad (they are all excellent), but the 100-400 mark II is noticeably better.

Opinion:This is a zoom mr, I usually prefer fixed optics, but honestly in front of the 100-400 I have nothing to say, it has a great af, a great stabilizer and excellent sharpness at all focal points! Being quite compact and light it is easily transportable, even multiplied it loses little. Another strength is definitely the minimum focus distance at 400mm which is less than 1m, which ensures excellent Close-ups. Maybe the bokeh is not the best wanting to find a hair in the egg
Cons:For now nothing a little bit the weight, but there is
Opinion:I've got it recently and I'm happy. Although I don't use 1.4x at the moment I'm happy on my 90D which already gives me 1.6. Nice nice blur. Robust construction, good rings. very fast focus. With the zoom adjustment ring you can adjust the "hardness" of the zumata, support for the stand and excellent light rails.
Opinion:I used the previous great model for a long time and with satisfaction, but this is another planet. The yield is excellent even at full opening and does not decrease significantly even by mounting the 1.4X dupli. Very solid construction, really professional; ring for the tripod put in the right place, smooth and precise controls. On APS-C such as the 7D II it becomes a powerful but manageable 160-640 with which you can really do everything in the naturalistic field.
