p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 100 400L VII IS is really that good.


I have had my 100 400 pretty much glued to my 7D2 since I got it. This evening, I decided to mount it on the 5DIII and went outside hoping to spot something in the yard. Inspired by Rod Prouty's slow Shutter Speed shots, and with the sun setting so not much light and nothing running or flying around, I took some shots of our Lab, Jackson. The shots were looking good on the display at 100 so I decided to try it even slower, since I can always get shots of Jackson. I only got a couple more before he took off with my hubby but I was simply amazed at how good the IS on this lens is. Every shot I took with crazy slow shutter speeds at 400 mm was usable.

I've been very impressed with it also. Lately I've had the 1.4x on mine much of the time. At an effective FOV of 896mm on the 7D2, it's rock steady to use by hand in almost any lighting.

Mine is on order, or should I say pre-order as B&H is still backordered. Hope I get it by my birthday in March.

Just got mine this morning, first impression is very good. IS is not only very effective but also very quiet.

Thanks Rod. Yes for sure. I don't think I hesitate to use it for
lots of things that I would never dreamed of using the V1 for.

Lol he seems to go from one extreme to the other. Unlike his big sister
(Yorkie) who stays in overdrive.

Best Buy has them in stock, if you're interested. Ordered one yesterday and it shipped today.

Thanks Blaine. Don't really need it until mid March so I'll give B&H a chance. In the mean time, I guess I'll just have to make due with my v1.

You are right. Nearly every thread I've seen with the 100-400 has had really sharp images. I did not see the same with the 7d2, but even on the 7d2, this lens looks great.

You're saying the 7D II isn't sharp

Yours are. Mine is now. At least I hope it still is when it returns tomorrow. Actually I missed it. I really, really like it with the 100 400. They play extremely well together. Honestly, I haven't had a single regret over choosing it over the 1DIV. I think it and the 5DIII make a good set.....

The 7D II is "noisy" and noise degrades the I.Q.

I love my 7DII and the new 100-400 II. Extremely sharp. My second 7DII should be in my hands tomorrow. They will get a workout come spring here in Alaska.
