The Ideal Wildlife Lens
My previous 100-400mm L IS USM lens seemed to produce shots which lacked sharpness, particularly noticeable in reduced fine feather detail when photographing birds. This 400mm f5.6 prime lens is much crisper and gives much improved results.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Quick Focus
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- No Image Stabilisation

One of the best values in photography
This lens is one of the great values in photography. It is super sharp and does a great job of bringing the action to you. While it does not have image stabilization, it is light enough to hand hold and with some practice you can get great shots.
Pros:
- Image quality
- weight
- build quality
Cons:
- No image stabilization
- maximum aperture f/5.6

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

Excellent 'small' super-tele
Just purchased this lens and have spent time out birding. I've used it with and without an EF Extender 1.4x, and both hand-held and on a solid tripod. I'm very pleased: without the extender you can (with large hands and steady arms) shoot hand-held for quite a while.

Getting the Canon 400 5.6L raised the quality expectation I had of camera lenses, immediately getting rid of the three I already had which now didn't seem up to the job. The choice was between this and the Canon 100-400mm and don't regret buying this as I've only once found I would have liked to...
Pros:
- VERY sharp
- light
- fast focus
- use with converter
- lightweight
- quality build
Cons:
- None

- ultra sharp autofocus
- very light
- hand holdable
- in-built retractable hood
- L series
- tack sharp images
- fine glass
- comes with tripod mount,sexy white color

Brilliant optics, tack sharp wide open with aps-c
Brilliant optics, tack sharp wide open with aps-c , razor sharp on FF !! Wish canon had added IS to it to compensate for the slow aperture.

Nice L lens
A good entry level bird/wildlife lens. Takes a bit of practice to get sharp shots handheld.
Pros:
- Well made
- Sharp
- Not too heavy for a 400, but not exactly light either
- Good value
- Works pretty well with the 1.4x extender
- Fast autofocus
Cons:
- It could really use IS
