EF400mm f5.6 L USM "Super Telephoto" Lens


Personally my first impression of this lens is rather light just like my EF200mm f2.8 L USM. There isn't any IS feature but when holding this lens, surprisingly i was able to shooting without any problem on a outdoor daytime shoot. It's image quality is stunning sharp with full details which make my sports photography for the recent surfing shoot turns out to be very satisfying. Not only it give me the range which I need, it's focusing speed is lightning fast too.

Compare having a extender of 2x on my EF70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM which give me the same range of 400mm, the picture quality was very poor.

I personally recommend of owning this lens as a robust light weighted sports lens to have.
