Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM Super Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras Reviews
| 61 of 61 people found the following review helpful  Bird Photography, By This review is from: Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM Super Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (Electronics) After noting the captions of exceptional photographs that appeared in nature and photography magazines were often shot with this lens, I began to read the reviews. Based on the uniformly excellent reviews, I bought this lens and spent two weeks this January in the Florida Everglades taking pictures of birds. Based upon my experience with the lens, I would rate this as second in sharpness and contrast only to the 300 mm f2.8 Canon L series lens. The lens is handholdable for short periods to shoot birds in flight, but it is best suited for use on a solid tripod with a Wimberley tripod head to allow tracking of birds in flight.Jerry Reed Giclée Maker http://www.newlightimages.com/ 45 of 45 people found the following review helpful The best 500mm wildlife lens, By This review is from: Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM Super Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (Electronics) I needed more reach than 400mm gave on my EOS 1D, so I purchased Canon's 500mm f/4L IS three years ago. It's incredibly sharp out to the corners at f/4. With bird and mammal portraits, you see every feather, every hair.The lens is light enough to use on a Wimberley Sidekick. Some claim to be able to handhold it, but I think its eight-plus pound weight is a bit much for that. I carry mine in a long lens case with backpack harness from Kinesis Gear. This lens' image stabilization works very well. I've used it on a tripod with one-second shutter speeds and good telephoto technique, and gotten sharp, publishable images. With an EOS 1D or 1Ds, lens and camera are rain-proof in mild storms. I also got mine through Adorama, and had no problem with delivery or post-sale advertising. If you buy one expensive long lens for wildlife, choose this one. 21 of 23 people found the following review helpful So good it feels like I'm cheating, By This review is from: Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM Super Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (Electronics) I only got deep into bird and wildlife last summer when I purchased Canon's EF 400mm f/5.6L. That's a fine lens and I thought that the image quality was very good, but I longed for more "reach" and a faster aperture that would autofocus with my 1.4 teleconverter.A professional photographer freind let me handle his EF 600mm f/4L and his EF 500mm f/4.5L (both are older models) and the added length and weight of the 600mm focused me totally on the 500mm for my bag. My friend is using his 600mm on a full-frame camera while I'm using my 500mm on a 1.6 crop-sensor Canon 7D. On that sensor the 500mm gives a field of view equivalent to 800mm (1.6X500). When I add my 1.4TC II the equivalent focal length is 1,120mm!!! That's amazing power for a lens that will fit in my LowPro backback. For stunning pictures at all shutter speeds and shooting over an extended periods of time, a stout tripod and gimbal is suggested. I'm using the eight-ply, carbon fiber Induro C414 tripod...
