Canon's newest version of their wildlife staple lens, the 500 f/4. They shaved about a quarter of the weight off the previous version, very important as you are trekking through the wilderness trying to catch that elusive booby. ;) It's crazy sharp and the AF speed is fantastic. This lens also has Canon's new third IS mode which only operates when you fully press the shutter, giving you 4 stops of IS performance without the lousy battery drain.
Our lenses do not come with a tripod plate, please rent one here if you need one.
PLEASE NOTE:
Unlike our other lenses, the super telephoto lenses will be shipped in soft cases which can be used to transport the lens during your rental period.
