Canon's lightweight L-series 400mm — f/5.6 without IS in the lightest possible L telephoto.

The Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM is a classic super-telephoto prime from Canon's L series, released 1993 and in production for over two decades. Valued for its relatively compact and light build for a 400mm L prime. No image stabilisation. Canon EF mount.

f/5.6 maximum aperture. 400mm focal length. USM (ring-type ultrasonic) AF motor. No optical image stabilisation (IS). At approximately 1,250g. 77mm filter thread. Full-frame coverage. Canon EF mount.

The lack of IS means shutter speed discipline is required — generally 1/500s minimum for sharp handheld results. In exchange the lens weighs significantly less than stabilised alternatives such as the EF 400mm f/4 DO IS. The ring-type USM provides fast and quiet AF, and the lens has a long-standing reputation for sharp centre performance.

On the used market the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM is an affordable and lightweight super-telephoto prime. Condition checks: 77mm front element for dust or marks, AF clutch ring, USM motor responsiveness and accuracy. Canon EF mount — compatible with EOS R via EF-to-RF adapter. No IS — shutter speed discipline essential.

Avg £619, down 4.0% over 1 month
