Review: Great versatile lens - This is the best lens that I use on my Canon R8. The images are always so crisp and clear. I’ve recently used it to photograph some Red kites in flight and the images were stunning. It is as equally good on slower moving objects or even still objects. It is light weight and so versatile. The autofocus feature and stabilisation and fantastic for this lens. As with all of my Canon RF lenses the overall quality and fit to the body looks and feels great.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it fit cannon 1300d**
A: I believe that the EOS 1300d DSLR was designed with the APS-C sensor and hence is usually partnered with the Canon EF-S lenses.  The Canon RF 100-400mm lens has the RF mount which is designed for the Canon R (mirrorless) cameras and not the EOS 1300d DSLR

**Q: Is this suitable for air photography?**
A: Yes this is suitable for anything in the air. Most commonly used for wildlife and sports too.

**Q: Can this be used with a camera that is not full frame? i have a eos 700d**
A: This is an RF lens and can be used on APS-C EOS R cameras, ie the R7 and R10. But it can't be used on EOS DSLRs like the 700D

**Q: Will this fit the 700d**
A: No.  It’s only for EOS R fitting cameras.  For a 700D you need an EF or EF-S fitting lens. A good choice would be the EF-S 55-250mm STM lens which is the equivalent of 88-400mm and very good value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yeah. Good.
*by H***R on 23 September 2025*

Great lens - expensive but worth it. Good autofocus and sharp images even at 400mm. The longer you go the less the quality but it’s perfectly fine for personal use - not quite professional standard but a third the price of a pro-lens. If you’re a keen amateur it will do you just fine.
