 ... gave poor results. The autofocus took so long to settle that the combination was almost useless for bird photography, it was quicker to switch to manual focus and use the focus confirmation beep. The lens is f5.6 at the long end, which is a little bit slow, meaning that running at ISO400 or higher is often necessary on overcast days to get the shutter speed down. This lens is an excellent combination for mid-level DSLR bird and wildlife photography, fast enough to get good shots of birds in flight and long enou...more

I got my Canon EF100-400 IS lens for bird photography, and it is a fantastic lens for all-round bird and wildlife photography. Image quality is excellent as you'd expect from a Canon L series lens, and the image stabilisation works very well - it is possible to handhold the lens down to 1/100 and still get very good bird pictures provided the subject isn't moving much. Weighing in at over 1.5kg including the tripod collar (supplied) there's no getting away from it, this is a heavy lens. That is the price of performance unfortunately, and it does add considerably to the weight of the kit-bag. Bird and wildlife photographers always want more reach, ...  Read the complete review

This is a great lens - make no mistake about it. Whilst it's not cheap, it is an excellent "maid of all work" zoom lens for wildlife, sport and aviation photography - and pretty much anything else that requires a decent piece of glass attached to your Canon DSLR camera. It does have its limitations, mind you, and you're not totally guaranteed a magazine-quality shot every time you hit the shutter release, but it's easier to take great photos than bad ones with it. I have had my 100-400mm IS lens for just under 4 years now and it has been used in conjunction with my Canon EOS-300D and -350D DSLRs plus my new Canon EOS-40D. It will fit any pro-sumer ...  Read the complete review
