Question for the 100-400L Owners

How long is the lens when fully extended?

Id like something with a little more reach, but id kinda like to know what im getting myself into

Thanks for the help

It's pretty long but more than manageable. You can download the specs on all canon lenses here:

That should give you the answer that you are looking for.

Thanks for the link, Ive checked out that chart, from what can see it shows it as 7.4"

Do you know if that is that with it closed or open all the way?

That's got to be with it closed down to the 100mm mark ....
Opened up to the 400mm mark, it's probably closer to a foot .... although I haven't taken a tape measure to it .....

But, as ssim said, it's "more than manageable" .....

Extended, without hood, 11.25 inches.
With hood 14 inches.

Seems long, but it *is* quite manageable as other have said.

I measured mine at 11" fully extended..........

damn gotta go call my girlfriend

Waaaayyyyyyy too much information

HHhahahah, im sure you tell that to all the ladies

Thanks for the Info. I think im gonna take the the plunge.
