Product Overview
The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens is a professional-grade telephoto zoom lens designed for photographers who need exceptional reach, sharp image quality, and reliable performance. Part of Canon’s premium L-series, it combines a versatile 100–400mm focal length range with advanced image stabilization and fast, quiet autofocus. It is an excellent choice for wildlife, sports, bird photography, outdoor events, and other situations where getting closer to distant subjects is essential.
Versatile 100–400mm Telephoto Zoom
The 100–400mm focal length range provides flexibility for photographing subjects at different distances. At 100mm, it is suitable for portraits and general telephoto photography, while the extended 400mm reach helps capture distant wildlife, birds, athletes, and action without needing to move physically closer to the subject.
Premium L-Series Optical Performance
Canon’s L-series optical design combines specialized lens elements to help reduce chromatic aberration and maintain image clarity across the zoom range. The lens is designed to deliver detailed images, attractive contrast, and consistent performance for demanding photography applications.
Advanced Image Stabilization
The built-in optical Image Stabilizer helps reduce the effects of camera shake when shooting handheld. With stabilization rated at up to four stops under Canon’s specified testing conditions, it supports sharper images at slower shutter speeds and makes handheld telephoto photography more manageable.
Fast and Quiet USM Autofocus
The Ultrasonic Motor (USM) autofocus system provides fast, precise, and quiet focusing for still photography. This is particularly useful when tracking moving subjects such as birds in flight, wildlife, athletes, and other fast-paced action. The lens also features full-time manual focus override, allowing photographers to fine-tune focus when needed.
Air Sphere Coating and Improved Optical Design
Canon’s Air Sphere Coating (ASC) helps reduce lens flare and ghosting caused by reflected light. This supports improved contrast and image quality when photographing scenes with challenging lighting conditions, including outdoor environments with strong sunlight.
Durable, Weather-Resistant Construction
Built for demanding photography environments, the lens features dust- and moisture-resistant construction to help protect it during outdoor use. The fluorine coating on the front and rear lens surfaces helps repel dirt, dust, and fingerprints, making the glass easier to clean and maintain.
Compatible with Canon EF-Mount Cameras
The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM is designed for Canon EF-mount DSLR cameras. It can also be used with compatible Canon EOS R-series mirrorless cameras through an appropriate EF-EOS R mount adapter. Autofocus and other functions depend on camera and adapter compatibility.
