[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely awesome lens in all categories. From nature, wildlife to general photography, all around awesome lens.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What an amazing lens this is! Mounted on a Canon 5D Mark IV. It focuses very fast. I primarily shoot wildlife and boating images with occasional sports photography. In any situation, this lens always performs. For larger distances I added the X2 extender which doubles the range. Howver, autozoom is disabled with the extender. It is pretty heavy and works best with a tripod. Overall this is an incredible lens that not only looks beautiful but performs each and every time. It made me excited to get back into photography.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this lens for bird photography. Zoom nice and close.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this lens because I like capturing birds-in-flight. I was concerned about the f5.6 oppose to my 70-200 mm lens with a f2.8. It was a dense cloudy day in the park. I patiently waited for the geese to take flight, then spotted 2 in flight coming my way. Since it was cloudy, I used a high iso in burst mode. I captured them and I was amazed at the final results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has become my go-to telephoto lens and has served very nicely as a macro lens in a pinch because of its very close near-focus capability. Tack-sharp and with the latest Canon IS tech, it's totally reliable in any focus mode under just about any shooting circumstance. Love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lens is a game changer for Wildlife photography and its a must have in my opinion. Takes fantastic shots and its sturdy and durable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You won’t be disappointed!!! I liked my 24-70 but after experiencing the reach and sharp action photos with this lens, I’m in LOVE!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic shots and range while shooting a soccer game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a typical L quality lens. I never owned the original 100-400 with the push/pull zoom, but have been interested in this focal range for a while. While not cheap and not lightweight, the lens is well constructed and weather sealed. The Image Stabilization is super nice with 3 modes. I have been able to hand hold this lens at ridiculously low shutter speeds. The quality of the glass is exceptional, rendering very sharp images throughout the range. On my 7D2 body this gives the effective range of 160-640 at a very useable 4.5-5.6 aperture range.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the 4.5 - 5.6 is by no means the fastest, under decent lighting, this lens focuses fast, is light enough for hand-held shots zoomed to 400, and has now become my most used, all-around lens. While a faster f/stop would certainly be nicer, I do not have the $11,000 to buy one. This lens is probably the best lens that Canon puts out for general birding photography. The clarity of the lens is astounding, allowing for significant cropping without compromising the crispness if the image.
