    From the Manufacturer

    EF 100–400mm f/4.5–5.6L IS II USM

    The EF 100–400mm f/4.5–5.6L IS II USM lens delivers a superb combination of cutting-edge performance, compact construction and brilliant resolving power that's great for sports and wildlife photography. The lens features one fluorite and one super UD element to help provide impressive contrast and resolution with reduced chromatic aberration across the entire zoom range. Canon's new Air Sphere Coating (ASC) helps significantly reduce backlit flaring and ghosting, while fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens surfaces help lessen smears and fingerprints. A 9-blade circular aperture renders beautiful, soft backgrounds, and a 3 mode (standard, panning and exposure only) Optical Image Stabilizer provides up to 4 steps* of image correction. The new inner focusing AF system helps ensure fast and accurate focus down to 3.2 ft. with a .31x maximum magnification. Usability enhancements include a rotation-type zoom ring with adjustable zoom torque for more precise, customizable zoom performance, a redesigned tripod mount that can be attached and detached without removing the lens from the camera, and an all-new lens hood with a side window that makes it simple to adjust specialty filters–like polarizers–without the need to remove the hood. Ruggedly constructed with advanced dust and water sealing for durability in a range of environments, the EF 100–400mm f/4.5–5.6L IS II USM lens is a stellar performer with refined controls for a wide variety of situations.

    *According to CIPA standards (400mm focal length, when using the EOS-1D X).

    Outstanding!
    I've only had this lens for 2 months, but I've put it through it's paces. Probably 1000 shots +. Everything from insects to flowers to birds and landscapes. I use it on a Canon 7D mark II and it is my "walk around lens". Out of the box my copy had a back focus issue at 100mm, but a quick micro adjustment solved that (-10). I shoot hand held, so it was really hard to get used to that extra 100mm moving from my EF 70-300L f/4-5.6 IS USM. I was kind if disappointed how little that extra 100mm gave me. Not sure exactly what I expected, but it was more than what I got, LOL. I have to be really careful to control camera shake withe the 100-400 because as we all know, the longer your focal length the more exaggerated shake is. Now, the IS in this lens is bona fide 4 stops. I've taken shots with a single room light bulb, hand held, at 1/10 second and they were as sharp as could be expected. Where I have problems is shooting in cluttered areas like tree leaves. The camera wants to hunt a bit more than I would like. The EF 70-300L locked on in these situations without any problem what so ever. I use the 1st AF spot in the 7D2, the square within the square, so I can literally pin point a focus spot through the leaves and branches. I realize the auto focus is largely done in camera, and the 7D2 is amazing, but there is something with this lens that makes it hunt in these few situations. I do set the lens AF to 3m to infinity, and that helps, but doesn't eliminate the problem. 90% of the time, it locks on instantly, even in clutter. I suspect low light to be the culperate. It just causes me to take as many shots as I can until the subject leaves. Sometimes I'll get 100% others I'll get 60% (I'm used to 90%) with the 7D2 and the EF 70-300L. I'm not a fool, so I know camera shake plays a part. Another problem I'm adjusting to, but it's a good problem, is finding my target when zoomed to 400mm.Now, here is what I don't get. All the reviews that say the twist in the zoom ring is to long. I have small hands and fingers, and I just don't get that. I can go from 100mm to 400mm in a flash, in one twist and it's not the least bit aqward. I'm not sure if these people have ever used this lens or their technique is wrong.. I just don't get itEDIT: Note, this lens will focus to 3 feet, even at 400mm. You have to be aware of your DOF or you will think you are having focusing problems. Check out a youtube video by a guy who tested this lens in the Galapagos Islands. Close focusing is actually what sold me on this lens.I realize that images uploaded are not really a good representation of the lens, but you might get something out of these shots:1) Hummingbird at 30 feet; Roseate Spoonbills at 200 feet; Lizard at 6 feet (400mm); Gull at 100 feet; Skipper at 4 feet (400mm); Flower and Bee at 5 feet (400mm); Pileated Woodpecker at 50 feet; The obligatory moon shot : )All of these shots have been CROPPED.EDIT 5/26/2019: This lens is holding up well. I am notorious for not taking care of stuff and being a little rough, so that is why I even mention it. You would expect it too, but I am not the normal user. It's been dropped, banged, taken out in the rain, fog, heat, cold... You get the picture? I always do, LOL.EDIT 8/24/2019 to add some raptor shots. All are zoomed/cropped from 50-75% and at a min. of 200 feet up.

    It is not a cheap item but if you can get it, do not hesitate; it works wonderful with EOS 90D because it is EF type lens, stabilization it great, auto-focus is quick and in general all the items included (lens, case, shade, etc.) are premium quality. I recommend it undoubtedly.
