Review: A great lens - I am no expert on the technical side of this lens. I have previously used it on hire and was extremely impressed with the results when I used it at an airshow. Couldn't afford to buy it new but got a great secondhand deal on desertcart. Prompt delivery, well packaged very happy with my results when I first used it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Whats the difference between this and the older version? Just basic key points**
A: Among the changes from the Mark I version are*	The zoom mechanism now uses a rotating ring (like most other Canon zoom lenses), instead of a push/pull system.*	The Mark II version also features a new lens hood with a side window, making it possible to adjust specialty filters (such as polarizers and variable neutral-density filters) without removing the hood.*	The tripod mount can now be removed while the lens is attached to a camera body. The Mark I tripod mount can only be removed when the lens is detached.*	The IS system has three modes instead of the two modes of the Mark I. The third mode (which Canon calls "Mode 3"), designed with action shooting in mind, is similar to the mode used for panning ("Mode 2"), except that stabilization is applied only during exposure. *	The lens is slightly taller, wider and heavier than the original.*	The EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM  uses a totally new optical formula with one Fluorite and one Super UD element.

**Q: I like shooting action and I have a 70-200. Will buying this 100-400 be legitimate?**
A: That depends on the sport, your distance from the action and aperture you want. I shoot a lot of action too, softball, baseball, gymnastics, rowing, etc. for me, my 70-200 lives on my camera. However; if I want different perspectives, like a picture from center field to the batter - I will switch over to the 100-400. I also need it for the reach at most rowing events. That said, I still prefer the 70-200 for the speed and sharpness. Perhaps I’m just more comfortable with that lens.

**Q: I have a 70-200 2.8 and am thinking about this one for high school baseball , football and soccer to get more close ups. Anyone use this for sports ?**
A: 100-400 is too slow for indoor shots.  Recently, I shot photos at my kid's soccer game.  Even using a 70-200 2.8 I had to increase the ISO to 6400 to have fast-enough shutter speeds to capture the movements.  I got many good but very grainy images.  For actions, 2.8 is the only way to go.

**Q: Does it auto-focus with the Canon TC x2.0? And for the TC x1.4, does it only work with center focus?**
A: No, you will need to manually focus with the 2x TC since you will be at f/11 with this lens/TC combination.The new 100-400mm II handles the 1.4x TC nicely with my 7D mkII and 5D mkIII, but since you are at ~f/8 you can only use the center focus point.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great lens!
*by A***W on 1 June 2021*

Bought this and it is brilliant! I am a wheelchair user and so was concerned about using this lens on a couple of levels. But it is pretty easy use/set up. It is quite heavy but manageable. Great piece of kit from Canon!
