For the last week I have had the privilege of borrowing a local photographer's 100-400mm lens. Her name is Sarah Goodman and here is her website and facebook page - http://www.penuelphotography.co.uk & http://www.facebook.com/pages/Penuel-the-photography-of-Sara-Goodman/166835363429631.
I've been testing the lens out for later this year when I hope to be filming some nesting birds of prey for my documentary and I thought I would do a review on the lens itself. As always on a canon L lens it has a very good quality image and is well built, there are a few more modes on the lens and interestingly it is one of the few lenses that you don't twist to change the zoom but instead, in a sense push and pull. Below I have covered several topics including size, weight, focusing, stabilizing, test photos and the general features.
