Well, I recently used the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L ii IS USM zoom lens on a photographic safari to Chitwa Chitwa in the Sabi Sands. In the past I used a big, heavy 500mm f/4 lens, but the charm about the Canon 100-400mm ii lens is the fact that it's so light and versatile. In this video I share a few reasons why I don't like the Canon 100-400mm ii zoom lens, but also why I think it's the best zoom lens for wildlife photography, especially in places like the Sabi Sands where you get very close to the animals. I hope you enjoy this Canon 100-400mm ii review!
