Versatile super telephoto performance
The EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM is ideal for photographers who travel light and only want to carry one telephoto lens. It's a great choice for sports and nature photographers; the 100-400mm focal range brings distant subjects up close and allows for quick response to changing situations. When used with an APS-C camera, the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM offers a focal length range of 160-640mm (equivalent to full-frame).

Razor-sharp in any light
The EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM delivers razor-sharp, high-contrast images with fluorite and Super Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) glass lenses that reduce artifacts and distortion A three-mode Optical Image Stabilizer protects against camera shake, allowing up to four stops longer exposure times when shooting handheld.

No fear of stray light
When shooting into a light source, the multi-layer Canon ASC (Air Sphere Coating) coating reduces flare, lens reflections and reduced contrast. ASC consists of a multi-layer lens coating that reduces reflections. One layer of it contains nanoscale air particles that evenly slows down light as it enters the lens, reducing reflections that can affect image quality.

Ergonomic handling
Every photographer has his or her own unique way of working. A special ring can be used to adjust the adjustment resistance of the Zoomring: For example, a low resistance is ideal if the image composition must be done quickly in a constantly changing situation. On the other hand, you may want the Zoomring to be a little harder to adjust or even fixed if you want to prevent the focal length from changing randomly.

When needed: fast focusing
The fast USM-powered autofocus focuses precisely and almost silently. Manual focus at any time allows precise fine-tuning of focus without taking your eye off the camera. The EF 100-400mm 1:4.5-5.6L IS II USM's closest focusing distance is approximately 0.98m, so even subjects that come unexpectedly close can still be brought into sharp focus.

Environmental protection
Can be used even in the harshest weather conditions. As a lens in the Canon L series, the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM is also protected from dust and moisture. This allows you to continue shooting even in bad weather conditions. The fluorine-coated front lens repels dirt and makes cleaning easier.
