Q, on 100-400mm

Voyage · 28th August 2005

Question for those with EF 100-400mm

Does the front feels top-heavy and lose when push/zoom to at 400mm, doing this push pull thing will easily ware out the lens, losen the zooming.

Was thinking of getting this lens either new or 2nd hand.

Thanks.

If you're worried about how loose the barrel feels for the push-pull action, and whether it will slip when pointing down, there is a ring to adjust how tight or loose the push-pull is.

Mine going strong after 2 years, no wear and tear even after constant use. The tension ring works well but mine almost always at the lowest tension, unless when stored.
