Description
The EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM telephoto zoom lens has been developed to
meet the high-performance standards that today's photographers demand.
Improved Image Stabilizer Technology provides up to three stops of
"shake" correction, and the "Mode 2" option stabilizes images while
panning with a moving subject. Compared to the original Canon EF
75-300mm IS zoom lens, this telephoto lens has faster autofocus, and
overall the lens is lighter and has a smaller diameter than the
original. The zoom ring can be locked at the 70mm position, making this
powerful lens easy to transport, too. Specifications Specifications

Documentation
Comments This is a "consumer
grade lens", it is not a patch on my Canon
70-200 f2.8 L, but then it was a fraction of the price. It is a good
quality telephoto though and gives good quality images for a reasonable
cost.
