Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this lens to shoot soccer in bright light at outdoor venues. It was very sharp. The focal length was great for the full-size 11-a-side field. The lack of good depth of field was expected, but disappointing. In the end, that was a deal breaker for me. I returned the lens--no questions asked. What a great return policy! I'm going to try the Canon EF 300mm f/4L and see if that works better for me. Still, this is a great lens if f/4.5-5.6 works for you.

I’m a beginner and found this lens to be very user friendly. My action shots were great and my close up shots were beautiful! I highly recommend this lens for action shots.

The quality of this lens is on point. I have only had it for a short time but it has produced amazing photos.

Lens is ideal for traveling for its compact size and weight. Very sharp at f8-f11. I like the different image stabilization settings. Lock ring works good and stays tight.

My wife loves this lens. We have a hill behind our house and she loves zooming in on wildlife and taking great photos.

What I like about it is the long range zoom aside from being a sharp lens. Although it doesn't replaces my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS USM II. It is sharp from 100mm all the way to 400mm. But in a dim environmrnt, that is when this lens began to slow down. But the IS is a great help to minimize the blurry pictures. I find the IS very effective in all situations and it helps during low light shooting. I wish they should have made this thing with a "constant aperture." But it is an L lens, a very reliable one! Comparing to the Canon 200-400 f4, this is the way to go if you don't want the extra weight and also save a huge amount of money

Been looking at this lens for a while from a friend. Thought I should just get my own. So I did. Love it..

This Lense is excellent for shooting Sports & Wildlife. I have the previous one that zooms by push & pull. This lense twists left & right for focusing & it is very fast Focusing. You will not be dissappointed purchasing this one.

This a great lens that is super sharp and compact. I would definitely recommend this lens to anyone

I had this about a weeks before my wife made me return it lol but omg it takes amazing pictures. I'm using the 5d Mark III

Love this lens! Took it out to photograph birds, I was not disappointed. Sharp! Quiet! Truly captures the essence of the birds. Very happy with my purchase.

Great service from Best Buy & great Canon lens. Very sharp photos with this lens & my T7i Canon Camera!

This lens is superb. The pictures are clear and bright with crisp results. This is our 10th or 12th Canon lens and it is well worth the cost.

I wanted a lens for wildlife shots at the lake and it's working great so far! It is heavy, but I'm getting used to it.

This is a very powerful and versatile lens. Great for landscapes, portraits, and sports. It is heavy and requires a steady hand and often a tripod.

This lens is remarkably light for one so long. I recently took it to an MLB game and the pictures are incredible. Highly recommend to any Canon DSLR owner!

I love this len, it allows me zoom 400mm and able to take beautiful pictures at 3 feet. It like a macro len, and the auto focus was sharp.

Had the first generation version of this lens and it was great. This one continues and improves on that greatness.

This lens is addictive. Perfect for wildlife and sports photography.

Very impressive.. Beats the old version by a mile... Focusing speed is great, clarity/sharpness shouts L series, and the new IS is outstanding!!!
