I have rented the Canon EF 100-400mm version I and II for gigs over the past two years. I had to bite the bullet after starting to rack up the rental bill, and I doubt I will have any regrets. The version II is unbelievable. No more telescoping push/pull zoom... and the image quality is out of this world. This lens is tic tac sharp and keeps up with my Canon 70-200mm f/2.8. The IS is another thing of beauty... I can literally hand hold at 400mm at 1/60th of second and not have any camera shake. I use this lens primarily for concerts where they only allow me to shoot in specific doorways, and I am usually between 300-400mm, and shooting at 1/200th to 1/320th with a 6400 ISO. I am excited to give this lens a whirl at some vintage car races. I have attached two shots, one with, and one with out IS. Both handheld at f/5.6, 1/60th and 3200 ISO, and taken straight out of the camera, no editing, other than the crop.

This lense is my new goto lens for my Canon 80D. I love it more than any of my other lenses. The Altura Backpack fits my camera body, this 100-400mm zoom lens, my 18-55mm lens, my 75-300mm lens, all the filters and hoods for this lens. The filter holder packet is great too. The CPL filter I had to take off because it would not allow good focus. It has a double image for some reason, so I only use the other two filters in this combination. The 80D body that I have has no problem adjusting the light so not using the CPL filter is not a problem. The Sandisk memory card is not the best card on the market, but it works ok for what I use it for. This card is a U1 card, so I have ordered a U3 card to see if I can get some more FPSs out of my sports mode sequential shots. Overall, I love this lens and this backpack. All of my gear fits perfect in the backpack and the monopod is sturdy enough that I am not afraid the big lens and camera will fall off. The backpack also has a small zipper pocket on the outside so I can easily get to my other SD cards. The inner pocket fits the charger and batteries, and there is also another pocket that will fit an IPAD. I dont use an Ipad, but if I ever do, I know there will be a place for me to put it. Great package to be bundled with. I have not used any of the cleaning supplies, but they will definitely come in handy when I need them. Great bundle whoever put it together.

I have had this for 3 days now, and I am so thankful already. The reviews that you have read will give you more than enough accurate information, including the "weight" of the lens. Here are a few things I can confirm. 1. Weight: It is a much heavier lens than anything I have been use to in the past, but I am embracing the weight, as the quality difference in my photos has been greatly improved. 2. Buyers Remorse: I was really concerned that I would regret purchasing this lens at $2k, and then have buyers remorse. That has not happened. In fact, one review I read said, that this lens will inspire you to want to get out more and take more photos. I must agree! 3. Quality of photos: The improved quality in the photos is substantial. See the photos I have taken in my backyard over the past couple of days. These photos were taken with my Canon T6i. 4. Extra Gear: The extra gear is a really nice addition for the price. Again, I am very pleased with this lens, and looking forward to years of enjoyment and improved photo quality.

Took this lens on a wildlife shoot 2 days after receiving. Replacement for my Tamron 150-600mm. Very pleased with this canon lenses image quality. We also have the Canon 100-400L version 1 and initial reviews showed even better quality than the version 1. Shooting on a Canon 7D MkII body. I was concerned with this package deal that the lens was a international copy without a 1 year warranty not a USA model with the 1 year warranty. I contacted Digital Goja via email and they replied very quickly stating they were an authorized Canon dealer and this lens is a USA model and does have a 1 year warranty. Good customer service wins repeat business. Thank again Greg

The Canon EF 100-400 L ISII is amazing. However, the accessories provided by Digital Goja in the kit dont match up. In particular, the filters are of not value for a lens of this quality and they didnt have any better filters when I contacted them about this issue. Also, the monopod they provided in the kit would likely break as soon as a lens of this weight was mounted on it (it has a small plastic quick release plate).

I had rented the earlier model 100-400mm lens several times, and always had trouble adjusting to the push-pull telescoping mechanism. Canon has eliminated that in this model in favor of the traditional rotating ring, and its much more user friendly. You can adjust the friction of the telescoping mechanism via a ring, labelled "smooth - tight" inserted just above the knurled rubber telescoping area. At the tightest setting it keeps the lens from drifting while youre carrying it around. At the smoothest setting, with the least amount of friction, it moves easily but may be subject to a bit too much drift while youre on the move. The lens hood has a small notched out area with a cover that you can slide back to reach in and rotate a CPL filter - a very handy feature. The lens quickly and efficiently locks focus whether youre in One Shot, AI Focus or AI Servo modes. It does take some practice to hold this lens steady when fully extended to 400mm. I use the High Speed Continuous mode to shoot a burst of images when shooting fully extended, to improve the chances of achieving good focus. Ive been taking it out on my walks to shoot birds and small animals, in preparation for an upcoming African safari trip. Im really enjoying having a lens with such a long reach in my arsenal of lenses ! Update after African Safari: I absolutely adore this lens! It was always able to lock focus quickly, even in fairly low light conditions during our morning game drives that started before the sun rose. I used it with a Grizzly bean bag to steady it on the top ledge of the safari vehicle, and I achieved crisp focus over and over. I usually set the camera in High Speed Continuous mode and fired off a burst of images. Now, after returning from our nearly 3 week safari with ~10,000 images, my biggest challenge is choosing the best from among a batch of very similar images - its a good problem to have :)

Bought this lens before a long vacation in South Africa. Should have practiced a bit before going (obvious, right). Lens autofocus works great where the background is relatively simple, but my poor 60D was overworked trying to give me the correct focus point in a hurry where there is tight background and fore-ground. I need to work on the transaction between auto and manual focus. My gripe regards the backpack which after this one trip is starting to lose a strap. Considering the majority of the weight inside is this one lens (its heavy), that should not be happening.

The free polarizing filters and such are very bad quality so do not even attempt to put this on your lens. The condition mine showed up and looked like they had been scorched. The glass was not clear and there were blemishes all over which will screw up your pictures. Instead purchase some decent filters like from B+W for this lens.

I am a hobbyist photographer, so this is not a technical review of this lens. I LOVE THIS LENS! I purchased it for the sole purpose of taking action photos of our grandsons sports teams and it has performed flawlessly. As my grandsons aged, I found myself getting further and further away from the action and unable to capture the close-ups that I desired -- this is no longer a issue with this lens. The photos are excellent! (For you pros I suspect that this is rating is simplistic, but for me, it is spot on!) Expensive, yes....but how can you put a price on these memories!

Digital goja always provides fast service - not the first time I have received my order early. Ordered this lens after borrowing an older model from a friend while my Tamron 600mm was in for repairs. I like that I can focus on things closer to me - shots I would have to back up for with my Tamron. My husband is now using this lens and I dont hear nearly as many complaints from him about the lens not focusing as I did when he was using my Tamron 55/300 lens. His only complaint is that he finds it difficult to focus on the birds when they are flying overhead. Not sure if that is a lens issue or a photographer issue.Overall, we are both very happy with this lens.
