Our editorial take on the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM
The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM is a professional telephoto zoom designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs. It sits in the brand's L-series lineup, offering reach and image stabilization for wildlife, sports, and outdoor photography. The variable aperture and 4x zoom range make it a versatile option for shooters who need flexible framing at long distances without swapping glass.
At $2,699, it competes directly with other high-end telephoto zooms from Canon and third-party manufacturers. The lens is built to withstand field use and integrates modern autofocus and stabilization systems typical of Canon's L-series glass. It remains a popular choice among enthusiasts and working professionals who prioritize reach and build quality in a zoom format.
