Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS
Available Today
Canon’s most flexible super zoom has very good sharpness, especially stopped down one stop from wide open. It’s reasonably light weight and Image Stabilization allow it to be handheld in decent lighting. The wide zoom range maximizes shooting opportunity without changing lenses. The Canon 100-400mm is a “telescoping” (a.k.a. push-pull) zoom which takes a little adjustment if you haven’t used one before.
NOTE: If you are planning on using this lens with a teleconverter, be aware that you will not have autofocus. You will still have manual focus, but again, it will not autofocus.
