100-400mm Lenses

A 100-400mm zoom runs from 100mm, which gives a short telephoto field of view. It flatters faces and separates subjects from backgrounds, making it a classic portrait length.

At 400mm it reaches a long telephoto field of view, popular for wildlife, sports and distant subjects. One lens covers several classic prime focal lengths in between. On APS-C a 100mm lens frames like about 150mm (Canon APS-C: 160mm) on full frame; on Micro Four Thirds it frames like 200mm.

We list 19 lenses in this range: 0 primes and 19 zooms across 9 mounts, with a fastest aperture of f/4.5.
