Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM

Super telephoto L-series lenses with an image stabilizer are intended for use in track and field sports as well as low-light nature and wildlife photography. The fluorite element and two UD-glass elements result in high resolution and high contrast. The ring USM and an improved AF drive algorithm make the AF speed the fastest in the world when used with the EOS-1v and EOS-3. This lens has AF stop and focus preset features.

Virtually the standard lens for many professional sports shooters, this optical powerhouse is ideal for any film or digital application where you need telephoto power and low-light capability. With one Fluorite element and two UDglass elements, it’s one lens you won't need to stop down to get a good image. The Image stabilization only adds to its all-around abilities. Details include a network of weather-resistant seals and gaskets, and a focus preset that enables instant return to a memorized focusing distance.

A super telephoto lens can make an ordinary scene into an extraordinary one. Its ability to see surpasses that of the human eye. It can compress images and make them look as if they come from another dimension. It opens up new realms of photographic expression. All EF super telephoto lenses are L-series lenses to provide the highest quality. The USM provides quiet and high-speed autofocusing. These lenses promise outstanding delineation and put your imagination to the test.

An Amazon Reviewer Said:

This lens is the tool to get images that jump out at the viewer. As a sports lens I don't know if there is a better solution. It is a lot of weight to pack around, but after one or two games you get used to moving it around. A mono-pod is required for shooting any more than a few shots at a time. Since I purchased this lens it has been attached to my camera exclusively with the exception of one wedding shoot.
