Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM review by macman

 

I had always dreamed of owning a big white one day, well that day came and what a lens it turned out to be. Fantastic image quality, even with the 1.4 converter it produces stunning images.

Canon EF 500mm f4 IS USM Lens

 

What a great lens, I used a friends and that had me hooked. There is nothing like a prime lens. I considered the 600mm, but 4lbs extra weight kills hand holding for birds in flight. So far I have some great keepers which are much improved over my...
