Overview

Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS III USM Lens

Super telephoto prime is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 960mm equivalent focal length.
Bright f/4 maximum aperture affords control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques.
Super UD and fluorite elements are used to greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve greater clarity and color accuracy.
Aspherical elements help to limit spherical aberrations and distortion for greater sharpness and accurate rendering.
Super Spectra and Air Sphere Coatings have been applied to individual elements to control lens flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
An Optical Image Stabilizer helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to five shutter speed stops to better enable working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds. Three distinct IS modes are available: standard single-shot mode, a panning-optimized mode, and a mode that only activates the Image Stabilizer during the exposure.
A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), along with optimized focusing algorithms and a high-speed CPU, is employed to deliver fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.
Customizable electronic focusing ring provides three sensitivity levels for how quickly and precisely the lens can manually focus.
Focus Preset function is available to quickly recall a programmed focusing position.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens is sealed against dust and moisture for working in inclement environmental conditions and also features a fluorine coating on the front and rear elements to guard against water spots, smudges, or oil residue.
Removable rotating tripod collar is included and benefits working with the lens atop a tripod or monopod.
Compatible with optional EF 1.4X and EF 2X teleconverters.

IS problems on this lens
I bought this lens at the end of March as an upgrade to my 600 Version II (which was an upgrade from 600 version I which was preceded by 500 f/4 IS Version I). The promise of the weight savings plus the improved IS were appealing to me since I have spent a significant amount of time handholding these lenses over the past 10+ years.

A Must Have For Wildlife Photography
I've always wanted a long lens for wildlife photography. I'm older & was unsure if I could handle the weight of the 600 & 800 mm lenses. So when this new version came out & was lighter, I decided this was the "one". It's not so heavy that I can't hand hold it. I've used it for distance pics & as a Macro Lens. I'm glad I purchased it.

Hemingway, even at his sesquipedalian best would fail to provide sufficient praise for a lens of this caliber. Mind you, the circus I went through to purchase it bears mentioning; Over a certain price threshold the accounting department requires a wire transfer, but nobody will inform you at the time of purchase. No email is sent out, one must wait on a phone call they do not anticipate. I did not receive this call, and endured some less-than-productive time being anointed with idiotic opinions from the staff of an indifferent call center. FORTUNATELY!! A member of the Executive Response Team stepped in and took personal oversight of the situation until everything was resolved.

Great lens with one major issue.
I have bought this lens in April and just could'nt believe how light it was and the perfect balance it has. It makes the old 600II feel like it has twice the weight of the new one. In good light the lens is sharp and a joy to use. However, when I have begun to actually us it in the field I have noticed that the images looked very bad when using it in low light with a 5D4. Below 1/250s the images are unusable. They are displaying a vertical blur no matter the settings. I've tried the lens on 4 different 5d4 and it's always the same. All users I know have the same issue. This is unacceptable for a supertele and there is no answer to this, yet. Again unacceptable. Stick to the old one until Canon gets it fixed.

Best tele I have used
An amazing lens- quality of photos is unparalleled, light weight for such a long lens, and properties are really useful. The lens is very hand holdable which makes it useful in situations where setting up a tripod is not possible or there isn’t enough time to set one up and still get the shot. I didn’t think about having the ability to preset focus points when purchasing the lens, but find that really useful in the field with bird photography. It will also be good when photographing wildlife. It is expensive, will be used much more than I even thought.

Great price
i bought this a month ago... it has gone past my expectations for the fair and somewhat cheap price. overall this product is a must if you are starting photography.

Unacceptable for purpose of "weight saving" in an already bulky lens
Please, Canon. I am a die hard user of Canon, and nothing else. You MUST continue the production of the 600 L IS II for the day mine eventually fails. The 600 f/4 lens is the most integral piece of imaging equipment next to the flagship sports body( more so actually). The real life experience using it is that it's "unusable" compared to the "Version II" EF 600 f/4L IS II. This product will be the first ever negative experience I have ever had with Canon shooting them my entire life and owning nearly every professional Lens and camera. The I.S is nothing short of defective. "flawed" would be an inappropriate understatement. But maybe even worse, the image quality is not on par with the Version II, whether it be with teleconverters or not.
