I don't know, my Canon 100mm-400mm USM IS L does a tolerable job.

No argument about great picture quality. There may be an issue with the
price of such a lens, however. I just checked on Amazon and the Canon EF
100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM is quoted at $1,649 down from a list price of
$2,700 WOW!!!!

Cheers,

That's about right. I paid about $1400 for it a few years (holy cow! has
it been seven years already?) ago from B&H.
