A Review of the Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM Lens

A 100-400mm zoom lens is highly versatile, useful for anything from sports and wildlife photography to landscape work and more. They come in many different options with a wide variety of price points. Canon's RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM sits at the affordable end of the spectrum but still offers some great features, and this excellent video review takes a look at the performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Gordon Laing, this great video review takes a look at the Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM lens. Though this lens has a narrow variable maximum aperture, we have seen Canon's f/11 primes demonstrate that when used in tandem with a modern body, such a lens can actually be a perfectly acceptable performer and comes with advantages like a portable size and affordable price (in this case, $649). Of course, such lenses work best with decent light, but if you are not working in extreme scenarios or if you just want a longer lens for occasional shots, this can be the perfect solution that will not break the bank. Check out the video above for Laing's full thoughts on the lens.
