Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS 1.4x Hands-On Review

February 12, 2013 By Eric Reagan

Canon 200-400mm

Australian photographer Joshua Holko recently had the opportunity to shoot for several days with the upcoming Canon 200-400mm f/4L IS lens. (Recall that we had one of the first hands-on reports of this lens from Jeff Cable using the lens at the 2012 London Olympics.)

Holko put together a brief video review that touches on some of the key aspects of the lens, including the overall image quality compared to lenses like the Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS, its use with the Canon 2x teleconverter and the rumored $11k-$13k price point.

Check out the video below.

    Pretty nice review! Good job!
    I’m now just wondering what would happen if you put this bad boy on 7D or APS-H camera?

    Excellent review, it’s too bad Canon priced this camera out of the reach of so many people, because it appear to be a excellent lens. Thanks again for a great review.

      I am in total agreement with you on this one Ricky. The majority of Canon’s long lenses are way beyond my reach to purchase.

    I think most of “us” will end up renting this lens!! It’s gonna be way out of my budget!!!
