peng_kit_wong Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Could some one tell me how does EF100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS USM perform? Do you recommend this piece of lense? Can someone tell me where can I find reports for this lense. Thanks for your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff medkeff anchorage, a Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 <p>There is also <a href="http://www.photo.net/equipment/canon/70-300do_2/">David Hay's article here on photo.net</a> which includes some discussion of this lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_dunn2 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 <p>Hmm, maybe the fact that searching photo.net for canon 100-400 turns up well over a hundred hits? That might be a good place to start.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard thompson www.fotoz Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Performs very well. Due to its IS, its the zoom of choice for >300mm zooms. I hear the (Sigma 50-500mm) comes is good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjoseph Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Mine is great, I have no complaints about this lens. Not as sharp as a prime, but I doubt you are going to find super tele-zooms that are much sharper for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_doty Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I love mine. It is a great lens. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I was very happy with the 100-400L the IS really is an advantage. <br> <center><br><A href="http://www.photo.net/photo/3303268" title="Click to Open Photo Spec page" target="_blank"><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/3303268-lg.jpg" border=0 alt="Click to see Photo Specs" style="WIDTH: 500px; HEIGHT: 333px"><br> 100-400L handheld with IS 1/8 @ f/27<br> </A></center> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus_erne Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 A very good lens, I am very happy with mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yann_muzika Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 It's a great compromise lens : sharp enough to produce pro quality photos, not too slow, light enough to be easily handheld, Image stabilized, very comprehensive zoom range for nature/outdoor use, cheap for a L lens. If you are shooting flying birds from medium to close range, it is THE lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamoine_einspahr Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I like my 100-400L IS. It suits me just fine. I use it my EOS 3 and my 300D Rebel. I don't like the push-pull zoom because of the dust ingestion. Canon does not offer this lens any other way. The image I am sending was taken in Denver after a thunderstorm with rain-small hail. It was taken in Manual mode at 125 and F11 IS and handheld. Focus is quick and accurate. I have taken many different phases of the moon and it is not difficult to obtain photos like this. Wildlife images are super as well. Would a 5000 dollar lens do better. Sure, very likely. This lens suits me just fine since I do not have 5000 dollars to tie up in a lens. My advice is to buy where you can try and return if you get a bad copy. My son had that experience with a 24-70L F2.8. Try before you commit your money.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
