The second generation of one of Canons most popular professional lenses, the EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS II delivers outstanding improvements in image quality, functionality and performance to meet and exceed the needs of professional and enthusiast photographers. The lenss completely redesigned optical structure now features an improved 4-stop optical Image Stabilizer to reduce the effects of visible camera shake on long-distance shots, with three IS modes tailored to most typical shooting conditions, while Canons pioneering ring-type Ultrasonic Motor provides fast, silent autofocusing.
