Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens Overview

A long-range telephoto zoom characterized by sophisticated optical design and advanced image stabilization technologies, the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens is part of the esteemed L-series developed for full-frame EOS digital SLR cameras. A fluorite element and a Super UD element have been incorporated into the lens construction, and both help reduce aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom range for remarkable clarity, sharpness of image, and faithful color reproduction. An air sphere coating has also been applied to the lens elements to reduce lens flare and ghosting for richer contrast images. Benefiting the optical components of the lens, an effective four-step image stabilizer helps minimize the appearance of camera shake and can be dedicated to different shooting styles. In addition, a redesigned rotating-type zoom ring combines with an internal focusing mechanism and an ultrasonic motor to provide quick and intuitive handling that benefits manual shooting. Positioned as a versatile option for sports and wildlife photographers, the list of attributes of this lens makes it a viable telephoto zoom for a variety of capture applications.
