Abstract: PerformanceThe lens, expectedly, is all metal and hence heavy but very sturdy. Despite of being heavy however, you can actually carry it around, although extended period of holding it in shooting position might be tough. Thanks to the IS II, handheld shar...
Other than the fairly small tripod plate, which would have been better if it were made longer to aid carrying the lens, plus the fact the focus distance window is so close to the lens mount on the top of the barrel that it was partially obscured by the 7D...
Abstract: Today I’m paying a visit to The Hawking Centre to experience what it’s like to photograph birds of prey with one of Canon’s most popular telephoto zooms at present and a lens that’s got wildlife photographers excited – the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II US...
Powerful telephoto zoom range, 3-mode, 4-stop image stabilization, Great handling and build quality,
Very expensive to buy, Quite weighty,

While I really enjoyed my time testing the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM, it has created a dilemma for me. Should I trade in my 70-200mm f/2.8 lens for this highly versatile tool that seems to outshine the 70-200mm in many respects, including cl...

Sports, wildlife and nature. Candids, and studio portraiture too at shorter focal lengths
New optical design delivers high performance, Sharp at all focal lengths, at all apertures, and across the frame, Sharper than MkI version, and sharpest in class, Excellent image stabilization, Very close focusing, 0.31x magnification at 400mm, beats all
