About this product

Product Information

If you're a professional sports photographer, the Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens may be right up your alley. This Canon lens will also be useful if you wish to get up close to shoot images of wildlife. The Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS USM has the range to put you right in the middle of the action with a maximum aperture that will let you use very fast shutter speeds. What's more, on sensor cameras of APS-C size, you’ll have the effect of using a 600-millimeter telephoto lens. This lens is part of the L series from Canon. These lenses use special optical technologies such as Ultra-low Dispersion UD glass, Super Low Dispersion glass, fluorite elements, and aspherical elements to push the optical envelope. As a result, the L-series lenses will give you outstanding image quality. You can expect great results when it comes to both color and contrast. In addition, distortion is negligible. With that type of performance, you can add a Canon EF 1.4x extender to the Canon 400-millimeter IS, and you will have a 560-millimeter f/4 IS focal length lens, which is fast for this particular telephoto type. When you pick up this 11.8-pound lens, you’ll feel the quality construction. It has a magnesium alloy barrel and gaskets to provide an effective seal in adverse weather conditions. It also has Canon’s built-in, two-stage stabilization system. This highly effective image stabilization will give you an extra four stops of steadiness. One additional feature of this IS system is that it senses when there is a tripod in use. As a result, it won't attempt to correct for motion that isn't there. What's more, there is a second IS setting that helps correct for extraneous panning motion by correcting on a single axis. The Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS USM has a tripod socket on the barrel, allowing you to balance the weight more effectively with your camera. The rotating collar lets you switch from a vertical to a horizontal photo without taking the lens off the mount. This telephoto is practically distortion-free, and the fluorine coating on the front and back elements help to protect it from both dust and pesky fingerprints. The autofocus speed is extremely fast, which is key for both sporting events and nature shots. The autofocus offers a mode to help you capture stationary objects and two different modes to catch moving subjects more effectively. It also has a three-position focus limiter that you can use to reduce “hunting”, which can become an issue when you’re trying to capture fast-moving action. This lens also includes a focus-preset feature. Set the focus preset to a specific distance and simply turn the white knurled playback ring on the end of the lens. That can be extraordinarily useful when shooting sports photos. Whether you're an amateur or a budding professional, this Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens will help you to get all of the high-quality shots you need.
