  1. maybe the best affordable 400mm lens

    PriceGrabber
    8.0/10
    Reviewer: huichook, PriceGrabber

    Pull push zooming by itself actually is not a weakness at all. But I can feel it pumps a lot of air inside and out the lens. While the lens does not have weather sealing, the pull push mechanism will probably bring a lot of dust in the lens barrel as well. Sharpness is good, and color is great. Overall picture quality is great, but of course can't compare to 70-200 or any another primes. With 400mm, IS, and USM, it is the only choice in the market thus far. Read more

    • 100-400mm, fast focusing USM, IS, "affordable"
    • no weather sealing, pull-push, only 2 stops of IS

  • Manufacturer's Description

Incorporating Canon’s second generation Image Stabilization technology, this telephoto zoom responds in as little at 0.5 seconds, while providing up to three stops of correction for camera shake. Its AF system has been refined for better response time and tracking speed. And even the new 8-blade circular aperture offers a more pleasing out-of-focus image. Constructed to pro standards, this fast zoom is also highly resistant to dust and moisture, too.
