Autofocus
And image stabilization with standout flexibility from a built-in telephoto extender
Obviously the price is going to be a key consideration with this lens, but it really needs to be put into the context of the benefits and the performance… particularly the latter, as it's pretty well as good as a prime across 200mm to 400mm and only fract...
Canon's EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4X more than satisfies the requirements of its target market. Sports and wildlife photographers should be delighted by the convenience of the built-in extender and the fact that it doesn't compromise image quali...

The Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4X combines terrific optics, autofocus, and image stabilization with standout flexibility from a built-in telephoto extender
Few can afford the $11,800 price; 8.3 pounds is a lot to carry around; there's some vignetting when shooting wide open
You get you what you pay for with the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4X: superlative performance and flexibility....
Great image quality, Super-fast autofocus, Tough build quality

Is the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x lens for everyone? Certainly not. But for the working pro who can recoup his or her $11,000 investment through assignment work, it sure is worth it. And for the serious amateur wildlife or sports photogr...
