Pros: Lightweight, very sharp, practical, and from today, also "stabilized" on R7

Cons: Non-tropicalized

Opinion: I have had it for over a year and I must say that the fame it brings with it is justifiable. I don't have much to say.... It is a very sharp lens to almost all apertures and on R7 it becomes a stabilized 640mm 5.6 and it is incredible how a lens of 30 years ago not only works well on a mirrorless today but even renews itself becoming a stabilized lens. With the active ibis you can easily shoot handheld up to 1/200 .... this changes all the prospects of use for a lens that until yesterday demanded only fast times. Truly exceptional.

Pros: Sharpness, portability

Cons: Maf Distance

Opinion: A tireless worker, I have had it for several years (clearly bought used) and has never shown signs of slowing down. Very sharp and light. Every time I think about moving on to something more recent I look at what's out there and end up keeping it. The only flaw is that you pass something less than three meters away you have to remember to put down the SLR and enjoy the show with the naked eye, because you will not be able to photograph:)

Pros: All. AF, blur, lightness, ergonomics, sharpness

Cons: Minimum focusing distance, no stabilization

Opinion: Compared to the years I had him now he begins to feel his age, not so much for him as for the competition. The minimum focusing distance of 3.5m is huge compared to the meter of the 100-400II or 1.2-1.5 of the other Canon telephoto lenses. The absence of stabilization is felt especially on aps-c where the minimum time to use is 1/640s, better 1/800s for safety. There will be more shots discarded for shake than not to be focused. Given this premise, it is an excellent telephoto lens to learn how to photograph or to have a light 400mm. The blurry is crazy, creamy. The sharpness in the center of the frame comparable to the 100-400II. Also used for amateur astrophotography with good results. Only note: being around since 1993 and out of commerce for a while' evaluate the state of the used and inquire about spare parts.

Pros: Lightweight, transportable, very sharp, fast AF

Cons: IS is missing (but not a major problem), minimum distance of MF

Opinion: I recently bought this used lens, after having used for many years (since 2014) the old 100-400. I immediately appreciated the lightness and portability. Accustomed to the 100-400 that is still transportable looks like a feather. The optical quality is very good already at full aperture. It does not lose significantly even with 1.4x. The AF is better than the already good one of the 100-400 and remains more than usable on the 6DII even with 1.4. It is a sectorial lens and less versatile than the 100-400, but for the photographic hunt it seemed excellent to me. In my opinion it is highly recommended

Pros: Weight, sharpness even at TA, price, integrated hood, dimensions

Cons: Maybe short bracket for freehand grip

Opinion: Goal held 3 years. Transportable anywhere given the size, excellent sharpness. Used first on 70d and then on 5d4. Taken after literally "defenestrated" a 150-600 I fell in love with it. In comparison it lacks 200mm but the quality of the file is on another planet, also allowing me to make important crops. I photographed everything: small reptiles, small birds, large birds of prey, large mammals. The absence of the stabilizer is absolutely irrelevant: on the fly they are fast times, on purpose I shot up to 1/10s (of course, with a good tripod and a level head). With a 400 f2.8, IS disabled, given the heaviness, I do not think it is possible (and this is proof of the versatility due to the weight of this lens). Often used also multiplied 1.4x III on 5d4: AF slightly slow, but in the norm with closure to f8. nothing particularly unusable. Without multiplier the AF is valid even if on large excursions it needs manual help (and here comes into play the full time MF absolutely useful in some cases). For what it costs the lack of tropicalization is a more than acceptable compromise, to be circumvented with some flutter (plastic bag or lens cover -Amazon 10 €). Used for the purpose for which it was born and in its price range it simply has no rivals. It's a regret to deprive myself of it but having upgraded to 500 f4 it is necessary.
