Product details

The optical design of this super telephoto lens not only ensures excellent image quality but also reduces weight. On the sidelines, the EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM brings you close to the action. The lens's USM autofocus drive works in conjunction with the camera's autofocus, keeping moving subjects sharp in the frame.

Whether on safari or in your local park, the EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM is an excellent choice for photographing wildlife in their natural habitat. Its lightweight design makes it an ideal travel companion.

Press photographers often require a powerful telephoto lens. The EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM meets this need while being particularly lightweight and portable, making it easy to transport from one assignment to the next.

The EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM features a 5-stop image stabilizer, making handheld photography a reality. Subjects are focused exceptionally quickly and accurately—even in low light.

With fingertip-controlled buttons, you can start focusing, save it, or recall a preset subject distance, all without taking your eye off the camera.
