The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens is a powerful telephoto zoom designed for full-frame EOS DSLRs, offering long-range capabilities combined with advanced optical technologies. As part of Canon's esteemed L-series, this lens delivers exceptional image quality, making it an ideal choice for wildlife and sports photographers.

The lens incorporates one fluorite element and one Super UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) element to minimise chromatic aberrations and distortions throughout its zoom range. This ensures sharp, clear, and accurate colour reproduction in every shot. To further enhance the quality of your images, Canon's Air Sphere Coating (ASC) is applied to the lens elements, which reduces lens flare and ghosting, producing high-contrast images even in difficult lighting conditions.

The four-stop Image Stabilizer (IS) plays a key role in reducing the effects of camera shake, allowing for more stable shots even at slower shutter speeds or in low-light environments. This IS system is equipped with three distinct modes: Standard, Panning, and During Exposure Only, ensuring tailored image stabilization for different shooting situations.

Focusing performance is smooth and swift thanks to the ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), which, paired with advanced focusing algorithms and a high-speed CPU, enables fast, precise, and nearly silent autofocus. For photographers who prefer manual control, full-time manual focus override is also available. The lens also features a rotation-type zoom ring, offering seamless transitions between zoom settings, particularly useful for handheld shooting. The zoom tension can be adjusted to personal preferences using the zoom torque adjustment ring, giving the user complete control over zoom movements.

Built to withstand harsh shooting conditions, the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM features a weather-resistant construction, shielding it from dust and moisture, making it ideal for outdoor use. Additionally, fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements protect against fingerprints and smudges, ensuring your lens stays clean and maintains optimal image quality.

For photographers seeking creative control over depth of field, the lens includes a rounded nine-blade diaphragm, which enhances the bokeh effect, providing a soft, aesthetically pleasing background blur for more artistic shots.

A redesigned tripod collar allows the lens to be attached or detached without removing the camera, providing more flexibility during shoots. Furthermore, the included ET-83D lens hood features a convenient side window, enabling easy access to rotating filters while the hood remains in place.

With its impressive focal range, advanced image stabilization, and robust build, the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens is a versatile tool for professional photographers who demand performance and reliability across a wide range of shooting scenarios.
