Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM User Reviews
-
Sharp, fast auto-focus, well-stabilized, good build-quality.Not as fast and bright as more expensive lenses, so a higher shutter speed and ISO are needed. It's not weather-sealed - but neither is my R7.
Just got this lens last night to use with my my R7. Was distressed that it couldn't acquire focus-lock when I tried it out last night - but I had to set the camera to several seconds exposure to even see anything, so it shouldn't have been surprising at AF wouldn't work in that little light.

Came the morning, it was a different story. Setting my R7 to ISO 3200 and a shutter speed of 1600 and I had no problem with the autofocus and got very sharp and colorful shots wide open at 400mm (f/8) at distances of 20 and 500 feet.
I may even stand a chance of getting shots of birds in flight!
