Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic lensBest lens I have ever owned. I shoot wildlife and it is brilliant. Only fault is that it collects dust for some reason. I had the mark 1 and never had a problem in the 10 years I owned it. Any way I had it cleaned under warrenty twice and now I have to be more careful

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great lensHave been wanting this lens for awile now and with all the Black Friday discounts I couldn't pass it up. Exellent clarity, outstanding pictures. I'm very happy with this lens, It's all I expected it to be. After using it for a couple of weeks I asked myself why I waited so long.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Sharp Images Best I ever had in a long rangeGot this lens and I love the quality of it and the sharpness of the images at all ranges of the lens. Over the years I had many canon lens even back in the film days.But this EF 100 - 400mm ll is the best of them all. It work great with the EF 1.4x lll extender with no image reduction at all. Also works great with the EF 2.0 x lll extender but with no AF. But I know that when i got it , but 800 mm great reach. Canon sure makes good products thats way there the leader in sales over time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best lens I ever purchasedBest lens on the market 100-400MM L iiI recently upgraded to the new Canon 100-400MM L ii after owning version 1 for 5 years. The technology Canon put into the new ii lens is amazing. Sharpness, quality, color, faster AF, quiet motor, new twist design, less chromatic Ab, more glass. Matched up with a Canon 5D Mark iii, my photos took the next step in perfection. Canon has been building cameras and lens for a long time, they know what their doing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely Great LensI traded my earlier version of this lens in for the EF 100-400mm II version in early July. It was used this past weekend to shoot the Cleveland National Air Show and the results were out of this world. Photos of jets moving at speeds up to 600 mph were crisp and sharp. When coupled with my 7D Mark II it made an unbeatable combination. I highly recommend this lens for anyone that wants to get up close and get the best results possible. This has been used for equally sharp wildlife shots of eagles and other birds in flight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sharpness and color renditionAfter using the Canon 300mm L f4 for years, there was a learning curve to a zoom lens for my birding photography- not a fault of the lens, just me. And still working on getting the best from the combination of the 7d MkII with this lens and getting the best settings to make them work together best.Generally I'm in pretty good light and have learned to be less afraid of bumping up the ISO to get the best from this this lens, which sounds like the opposite approach but has really worked well. I've had the lens for about six months now and just had two great shoots with it- one in Eastern Oregon tracking the birds over there and just last week (June 3rd, 2016) over at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area tracking a pair of Peregrine Falcons who were gather 'meals' for their three chicks. It was a challenge to keep up with them but I got some outstanding photos of the pair, especially when they transferred the 'meal' from the male to the female as she prepared the meal for the chicks. The balance of holding this lens handheld during that sequence on that 7d MkII was really important in getting those shots. So many that I've shown those to asks if I took them- they've seen other photos that I've taken but practice- and good fortune- made that series just stellar! The detail in those made easy identification of the 'meal bird' and gave a feeling of really being right there.Two years ago I rented a 150-600mm and found it cumbersome to work with and even when steady and everything fine tuned, the 400mm shots from the Canon looked better and sharper, cropped mind you, than the 600mm shots from the other lens. What I learned from that is that I wouldn't be missing that extra 200mm. I tried the lens with an off-brand 1.4 and even though that's not the best matchup, those looked as good or better than the 150-600mm- so yes, the Canon 1.4 MkIII is on the shopping list since if that one can work that well I'm excited to try it with the newer and better matched Canon!The main point for me was that the lens felt more like the 70-200mm f2.8 MkII, which I'm used to- well balanced, great sharpness and, as I noticed with the that lens, the color of the images is just so right on and true, I noticed softness and weak color in that 150-600mm. Yes, I could have saved money but the image quality is where it's got to be at and it just wasn't there- so glad I rented it instead of buying it and waited for the replacement of the original 100-400mm.The lens 'anti-creep' feature is great too, the zoom torque adjustment ring. I haven't used a polarizer in years but that Canon thought of that feature in the lens hood is just another example of how well thought out the lens is.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great lens.I bought this lens a couple weeks ago and have it attached to a Canon EOS 7D Mk II. What a wonderful combination.
