It's the best, and only, supertelephoto zoom from Canon. Zooms like a trombone/pump, a left over of 80's design, sucks dust pretty good too. Pretty good optics though.
Personally, I have a Sigma 50-500 and like it better.

^^ I hear that, but don't see the 100-400 I have pulling in dust.

I've had it in some dusty places as well; I am careful not to just pump it endlessly in that dust though; air is moving. Have you had a problem with it?

You forgot about the 28-300.

Yeah, but to many people price is a limiting factor :).

For the money, the 100-400 is a great lens, and IMO, the best in its class :).

Kind regards, Wim

Supertelephoto generally starts at past 300mm for me.
I'd put xx-300 at telephoto zoom class like the 70-300.

Ah I translated your post as "superzoom with telephoto." :)
