Very sharp, great for birds in flight
I bought this to replace another lens that failed several years ago, so I have had plenty of experience with it shooting various wildlife, primarily birds for large prints, typically up to 36 inches on a side, using a Canon 40D, then a 60D.This lens is capable of extremely high IQ images.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
Cons:
- Maybe Soft Wfilters
- Maybe Soft W Filters

great lens for wildlife, and birds
Lens focuses very fast and accurate, great for birds in flight and other wildlife, light enough to carry all day and use hand held. However this lens is slow so it needs a lot of light. Wish canon would make the same lens with IS at a price mortals can afford.
Pros:
- extremely fast focus and light weight
Cons:
- needs lots of light to perform well

Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM review by Leo
Never liked the EF 300 MM F4.0, the EF 100-400 mm was already better. But the 400 MM F5.6L surprised me. The IQ is very very good. For a short time I have had the EF 400 F2.8 ISL. The IQ of that lens is out of this world, as is the weight. You need a truck to get where you want to take your photo's.
Pros:
- Light
- build-in hood
- very nice IQ
- nice Bokeh
- cheap
- 800 euro for a second hand
Cons:
- No IS
- F5.6 with extenders makes it F8.0

"EF" not "IS" means a lot
I am disappointed this is not the unit I thought I was buying. It was the only "L" USM 400mm f/5.6 CANON lens so silly me as I have ended up without image stabiliser & the item I wanted. I now note the "EF" may need to be "IS". Had I made a retail purchase I would have seen this

Great for Bird Photography
I purchased this lens for bird photography and am very happy with it so far. It is lighter than the 100-400mm Canon and have found that all my pictures are at 400mm anyhow. The lack of IS might be a problem for some especially in dusk/dawn situations when you need to slow the shutter down.
Pros:
- Durable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Poor in Low Light

My favorite lens
"Primary use: Birding and wildlife Camera body: Canon 7D Pros: Great clarity of glass, relatively light (for a 400mm), sharp wide open at f/5.6, built in hood is so convenient (don't overlook this advantage), quality build, and price.

I am an extremely satisfied user of Canon 400 mm F 5.6 EFL lens. I have used this lens with variopus Canon bodies like Canon EOS 1RS, EOS 1N, EOS 3, EOS 1DS mark II, EOS 5D. I have had wonderful experience with all these bodies with excellent sharpness in the center of the frame.
Pros:
- Outstanding sharpness
- well controlled flare characteristics
- very little lateral colour
- Minimal drop in sharpness with the 1.4 X EF teleconverter
Cons:
- lack of USM
- I guess that is about it

Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM
This is the ultimate best birding lens for hobbyist photographers. I agree, in theory the EF 300mm f/4L IS + 1.4x extender should be better but actually it isn't as per users' opinions. I have owned this lens for 17 months and shot thousands of images with it mounted on my EOS 450D and EOS 50D.
Pros:
- a
- Lightweight b
- Affordable c
- Sharp d
- Fast autofocus
Cons:
- a
- Lack of weather sealing
