Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L Reviews and Samples

The Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM is one of the favorites among sports, bird and wildlife photographers, and is an extremely sharp lens even at f/5.6 wide open (you don’t need to stop it down just to get sharp pictures).

AbBy’s Amazing Birds
Species and location: San Francisco Bay Area; Black-necked Stilt Fledgling at Radio Road, Redwood City, Fledgling Avocet, Dowitcher, Sparrow, Mallard Ducklings, Yellow Legs at Shoreline Lake, Mountainview, and a boring Willet (sic).
The photographer shot these with the 400mm f/5.6L mounted on the Canon EOS 30D digital SLR camera. This set is truly one of the best photos I’ve seen shot with this combination, and AbBy has more tips on approaching the juvenile birds. View more pics from AmyAbby’s gallery.

Ken’s Southern California Variety
Bird species include: a Great Blue Heron, Peregrine Falcon, Dowitcher, Juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron, Osprey (caught a fish), Acorn Woodpecker, Goldfinch and a California Towhee.
Camera used was the Canon EOS 1D Mark II N. This series is an excellent demonstration of the sharpness, contrast and bokeh qualities of the lens. You can view more of Ken’s photos here.
