The Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS II USM Lens is a worthy success to the well-received MK I. Featuring a newly redesigned optical system for excellent sharpness; rotating zoom design; an improved minimum focusing distance of 0.98m; and a 3-mode Image Stabiliser, this solid, super-telephoto lens will perform to the highest of standards in a variety of photographic genres. This includes sport, wildlife, travel, and portraiture. When working with APS-C sized image sensors the lens delivers angles of view that are equivalent to a 160-640mm on a full-frame camera. Furthermore, the lens is weather sealed, offers compact dimensions and is relatively lightweight so that it can be taken anywhere.
