Great lens - used it on vacation on the beach and got some amazing bird shots with a 6D. It also focuses pretty close, and I got some nice close-in humming-birds and dragonflies which looked really nice - as good as any of my other L Glass :)

This lens rocks! The image stabilization works (I use mode 3) really well. I use this lens for wildlife shots and it brings the subject very close without any odd distortion (and it doesnt spook the target). Of the added items in this Kit I used the filters (good to have a UV to protect the front of the "real" lens). If you are looking for an excellent quality lens this is a great choice! I even get good shots of birds in flight!

I Absolutely LOVE this lens.. I’ve been shooting with a Canon 28mm by 300mm for 11 years.. The Canon 100mm by 400mm is comparable in weight.. Yes, they are both heavy.. I wanted the extra reach that this lens provides, especially when it comes to large events.. Birthdays, weddings, graduations, beach shots.. The real beauty of this lens is i can stay on the outside of the crowd and reach right in there.. The photographs are amazing!! A big THUMBS UP to this GREAT lens!! The extras provided with this lens is a nice touch..

Had the old version and loved that, THIS new version is a great improvement over an already great lens. The added bundle is a nice addition as the lens appears to be fair traded and this allows a bit of a bonus. Very nice mono-pod, cleaning stuff is typical. The wireless cable release is a nice idea but doesnt work with my 5DMkII. The order was promised by Tuesday and arrived a day early in perfect condition. Digital Goja produced as promised, what more can be said. Thanks!

This was a Christmas gift for me from my hubby! I love it! I am learning how to use it and took amazing pictures of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch yesterday. The lens and all useful accessories arrived in perfect shape, on time! I am a happy amateur photographer!

This was a perfect bundle that was included with this telephoto I needed for my new Canon EOS 7D Mark Ii. Lens is awesome and is performing well., and the included extras in this bundle are very helpful to my photography. I am pleased with this and can recommend this to anyone needing this lens.

AWESOME lens!! I bought this lens (EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS ll USM) for my Canon 70D to take pictures of my many travels and wildlife while at home in the country. I took it to an airshow for my first outing and filmed fighter jets whizzing by at over 1000 mph using only handheld option at full zoom. Pictures were clear but not crystal clear on a cropped image in post production. (I repeat 1000mph/handheld! ......and I wasnt shooting in shutter priority - oops - so probably my fault!) Still took VERY high quality pictures though! Extremely good pics on static displays with handheld. Love the 3 stabilization options. I used the panning stabilization at the air show and worked great! Very, VERY nice!!! Love that feature! (It stabilizes the object as you are panning instead of bouncing all over) Although this lens is heavy, it was not burdensome at all. (Im a 65 yr old woman) I actually like the weight (ok, except when backpacking it through the desert). I felt it helped to keep the camera on mark. I noticed quite a few people with this lens at the airshow. (I did extensive research before purchase and didnt find any negative reviews!) I then took it to Death Valley in California with occasional high winds and sand. No problems. Good seals. Bundles features - The hood is lined (flocked) and very nice with the slide opening to manipulate filter. You cannot zoom while lens hood is reversed. It covers the zoom ring. The hood has to be reversed or off to fit in case. Now about the filters. It will NOT focus (auto or manual) with dark filter (CP or ND) (too low light) and barely with UV. The filters are a waste. Of course they are cheap glass in a bundle package. Picture quality was so much better without the filters. They may work better on 100mm. I have not tried them that way yet. The case is very nice also. It comes with a thin strap also has a belt loop. (I put on a padded camera strap.) The tripod ring is not the one in the picture. It is the standard one that comes with the lens (much better) that has 2 knobs - one for ability to move around lens, one to remove the flat tripod attachment and leave on tripod. The ring stays on lens. The monopod is nice quality (I already had one) but you really need a tripod with this lens. Monopod helps with weight but not movement issues. I didnt try the remote control. I already had one. They are nice to decrease camera shake. I have been looking for more than 2 years for a lens like this that was a little more affordable. I almost got the last model (IS USM not the IS ll USM) and Im glad I paid a little more for this one. Sooooo much better. I like the rotating zoom not the slide zoom anyway. I would definitely buy this lens again. It was well worth the money!

Having owned the original 100-400 lens and wanting a better version of it I read the Amazon reviews and decided to take a chance and buy the new version. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that this Version ll is not only better but a whole lot better than the original. The push-pull zoom is gone in favor of a quarter-turn zoom (although you can still push-pull if you want to). This lens can focus down to under 1 meter so flowers, insects and the usual macro subjects are possible. But the real beauty of this lens is the image quality which is simply outstanding and competitive with my prime lenses. Hard to believe with a zoom lens but the images speak for themselves. Add its smooth zoom range and well behaved image stabilization system to all that and, except for having a wide-angle capability, you have a fine walk-around, ready-for-anything lens. This lens is heavier than the original 100-400 and is also heavier than a Canon 300mm, f/4 but if you can handle that you wont regret buying this one. I certainly dont.

First of all the lense and accessories are exactly as advertised. VERY FORTUNATELY the lense arrived in good shape. I say that because this was aguably the worst job of packing for shipment Ive had the displeasure of viewing. The external box was far to large in height for the lense and accessories and the only additional padding was a large sheet of packing paper that did NOTHING to keep the lense container (fortunately padded internally by Canon) from moving if the box was flipped. Since there were to "This side up" or "Fragile" on the box to add a layer of caution, I can only say Digital Goja was luckier than they deserve.

Everything has worked out better than expected. I had used a Sigma 120-400mm for the past 6 years, which worked very well with my T2i. After upgrading to a 6D, I found the Sigma to be lacking on the full frame 6D... edges were soft, as were the colors. The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM is sharper, especially around the edges, and the colors are GREAT. This lens feels like a big step up from the Sigma, and I love the extra 20mm on the wide side. I have taken several hundred shots, under mostly darker conditions, and have been very pleased with the results. The weight is not an issue for me, but it may be for some. The focusing works faster than what I expected. The only issue I have with this bundled package was that the battery in the remote was dead on arrival, so I have no clue to how well the remote works at this time. Im very happy with my purchase!
