Re: New 100-400L, seagulls, and good Canadian price.

I have used this lens almost every day for about 8 years..  I use it mainly for birding so I have packed this lens on hikes through marshes, beaches, and woods.  It is  my favorite lens, for being versatile and light enough to carry around ready to shoot all day.

I have never had a problem with dust in it, or with the push pull mechanism getting hard to slide.  There is some black material under the ring that locks the lens that seems to degrade after a few years of use. I  had this replaced  4 years ago and just recently  again. I just send it to Canon for a cleaning and focus check and they replace that material at no charge.

You will really enjoy this lens.
