Long-Reach Telephoto Zoom

The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM is a professional L-series telephoto zoom designed for full-frame EOS DSLRs. On APS-C models, it offers an equivalent range of 160-640mm, making it highly versatile for sports, action, and wildlife photography.

Advanced Optical Design

Canon uses one fluorite element and one Super UD element to minimize aberrations and distortions. As a result, the lens delivers sharpness, clarity, and faithful color reproduction throughout the zoom range. An Air Sphere Coating (ASC) further reduces flare and ghosting, which enhances contrast and maintains color accuracy in strong lighting.

Image Stabilization

The lens integrates a four-stop Optical Image Stabilizer, allowing handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds. You can also choose between three IS modes—Standard, Panning, and Exposure Only—for different shooting styles. This flexibility ensures stable results, even in challenging conditions.

Fast Autofocus and Handling

Canon equips the lens with a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), a high-speed CPU, and optimized algorithms. Together, they provide fast, quiet, and precise autofocus. Full-time manual override is always available for added control.

The rotation-type zoom ring offers smooth adjustments, while a torque adjustment ring lets you set zoom resistance to your preference. These handling features improve comfort and precision during handheld shooting.

Build and Durability

Built for professionals, the lens features weather-resistant sealing to protect against dust and moisture. Canon also applies fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements, making them easier to clean and resistant to fingerprints and smudges.

Extra Features

• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces smooth and natural bokeh.

• Redesigned tripod collar attaches or detaches without removing the lens.

• Included ET-83D hood has a side window for adjusting filters without removing the hood.

• Compatible with EF 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, extending its reach even further.
