Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM review
The stellar combination of superlative optics, astonishing performance and
brilliant construction, the EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM super telephoto is
the professional’s choice for a long lens, and perfect for nature and
wildlife photography. Over 28% lighter than its predecessor and now the
lightest lens in its class, the EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM features Fluorite
optics that deliver sharper images with less chromatic aberration, a
completely redesigned Image Stabilization system that offers up to four
extra stops of performance, a newly-developed Fluorine coating that keeps
soiling, smears and fingerprints to a minimum, plus new construction in
line with only the best that Canon has to offer. With a third Image
Stabilization mode (Mode 3) that activates IS only when the shutter button
is fully pressed, and giving the equivalent effect of a shutter speed four
stops faster, the EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM allows for easy panning and is
ideally positioned for professional action photography. With a new security
slot for wire-type security locks, buttons and switches are redesigned for
intuitive, deliberate operation, and dust and water sealing keeps the lens
functioning flawlessly in even the most challenging environments.Sample
