The EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM is a professional EF mount telephoto zoom lens introduced by Canon Inc. in September 1998.

Due to its large zoom range, it is a popular lens amongst photographers.

Many users have reported the lens suffers from internal dust due to the push/pull zoom system. This has led to it gaining the nickname of "The Dyson" as in the vacuum cleaner brand.

This lens is compatible with the Canon Extender EF teleconverters.
