Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM Super Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After noting the captions of exceptional photographs that appeared in nature and photography magazines were often shot with this lens, I began to read the reviews.Based on the uniformly excellent reviews, I bought this lens and spent two weeks this January in the Florida Everglades taking pictures of birds.Based upon my experience with the lens, I would rate this as second in sharpness and contrast only to the 300 mm f2.8 Canon L series lens.The lens is handholdable for short periods to shoot birds in flight, but it is best suited for use on a solid tripod with a Wimberley tripod head to allow tracking of birds in flight.
