An extremely complete super telephoto lens

The EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS II USM is ideal for photographers who travel light and only want to take one telephoto lens with them. It's the perfect model for photographing wildlife and sporting events. With the 100-400mm zoom range, you can reach the furthest subjects and quickly adapt to ever-changing situations. Paired with cameras incorporating APS-C sensors, the EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS II USM delivers viewing angles equivalent to a 160-640mm range on a full-frame camera.

Optimal precision, whatever the lighting conditions

The EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS II USM ensures sharp, high-contrast images, using fluorite crystal and ultra-low dispersion (UD) glass elements to reduce various distortions. The three-mode Image Stabilizer prevents blur due to camera shake, for on-the-go shooting with shutter speeds up to 4x slower than normal.

Goodbye reflections

Capture your shots in bright light, knowing that Canon's multi-layer ASC (Air Sphere Coating) will prevent internal flare, ghosting and loss of contrast. The multi-layer ASC coating reduces reflections, in particular thanks to a layer of air nanospheres deposited on the surface of the lens. This allows the light to slow down more gradually as it enters the lens, thereby preventing internal reflections that would affect image quality.

Ergonomic handling

Each photographer has their own working method. The degree of resistance felt when rotating the lens zoom ring can be adjusted using the touch zoom adjustment ring. A light touch is ideal when you need to take quick shots in a changing environment. You can also strengthen or even lock the zoom mechanism if you don't want to change the focal length inadvertently.

Quick focus whenever you want.

Enjoy fast, accurate, and near-silent USM autofocus. Permanent manual focus allows you to make precise adjustments while keeping your eye on the camera. With the EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS II USM focusing down to 0.98m, you can adjust for subjects that inadvertently come closer.

Outdoor protection

Continue shooting even in difficult weather. An L-series lens, the EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS II USM is dust and moisture-proof. You can therefore continue your shots in the event of bad weather. The fluorine on the front part of the lens prevents dust deposits, you can clean it with ease.
