Canon 400mm f/2.8L IS

The Holy Grail of sports photographers. This lens is incredibly sharp, focuses in a split second, has phenomenally wide aperture at f/2.8 for a 400mm lens. It’s the lens on the sidelines of professional sporting events everywhere. Also used by many nature photographers, especially in less than ideal light.

The catch? Its a big, very heavy lens. We strongly recommend a very heavy duty monopod, or a heavy duty tripod with a gimbal head (not a ballhead). This is a lens for photographers experienced with long lens technique. Shipping cost is significant— packed for shipping, the box is almost 30 pounds.

Roger’s take: Obviously its THE telephoto for long distance sports shooting, especially night games or when light is less than ideal. Its perfectly sharp even wide open, and one of the few lenses that still gives great sharpness with a 2x teleconverter. 800 f/5.6 IS anyone?

A little known fact: this big huge lens gathers so much light you can set ants on fire with it. By moonlight.

Shipping

This product is too heavy for us to ship flat-rate, so the shipping cost varies depending on how far from Memphis it needs to travel.

The shopping cart can automatically quote shipping, even for multi-item and oversize orders. Shipping multiple items together offers significant savings over shipping them individually.
