User Review: Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM

George Ponder from Birmingham, Ala., (a PopPhoto.com Forum moderator and former guest columnist) gave us his words of wisdom on the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM telephoto lens. Here's what George had to say:

A few months ago, I began a search for a 400mm ranged lens. I was able to narrow down my choices to the Canon 100-400mm IS and the Canon 400mm f5.6. I tested both lenses, looked at my budget, factored in how I'd use this lens and considered how each would impact my existing lenses. In the end I opted for the 400mm f5.6.
