Ultra telephoto lens, the 600mm f/4 is ideal for close-ups of distant subjects, quite important for example for wildlife documentary.
However, with its 4.5m minimum focus, it’s also a great focal length to capture very specific details of any action taking place at medium distance.
The 600mm is part of the L series, with a professional optical quality, giving each picture a nice sharpness. It also has a powerful stabilizer that will drastically reduce motion blur, quite difficult to avoid at such long focal length.
Furthermore, the 600mm benefit from the USM technology, enabling extremely fast and quiet autofocus.
