I bought the EF 600mm f/4 L IS II in 2018 and it has been my most used lens for bird photography since. After several years of use and more than 100’000 pictures taken with it I thought it was time for a review of the lens where I can share my experiences with you. This review covers AF, image quality, image stabilization (IS) and the handling and costs of the lens.
