Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II Review
From ePHOTOzine conclusion:
With the popularity of this lens’ predecessor, Canon’s new 100-400mm lens has a lot to live up to. As far as the performance of the lens is concerned, it has no problems living up to the reputation created by the old lens. Images are sharp, it focuses fast and handles well, especially thanks to the novel resistance adjustment on the zoom.
Where this lens my struggle is with how much it costs. Continuing the trend for new versions of lenses to be a fair bit more expensive, this lens is priced at a level higher than its predecessor ever was. Even so, for some people, the differences will be worth it. It’s credit to the old version of this lens that it is so hard to beat in terms of quality and value.
The lens features inner focusing system with a closer focus range, new lens coating to reduce flaring and ghosting, improved Bokeh and a more advanced optical stabilizer. See more at the official announcement page.
