About the Product

The lens construction includes 17 elements in 12 groups, with special attention paid to ensuring high image quality throughout the zoom.

Faqs:

What is Nano USM and how does it benefit a traveling photographer?

Nano USM is a revolutionary Canon focus motor that combines the speed and power of the traditional USM (ideal for still photography) with the smooth, near-silent operation of STM (ideal for video). This ensures you get fast, accurate shots and professional-looking, quiet video footage during your travels.

How useful is the built-in LCD screen?

The LCD screen provides valuable real-time information that is normally only visible through the viewfinder or on the rear LCD. You can quickly check your focal length, shooting distance, or, uniquely, see how much the Image Stabilizer is working, which is helpful when shooting handheld at 300mm.

Is this lens suitable for a full-frame or an APS-C camera?

This Canon EF mount lens is compatible with both full-frame and APS-C DSLR camera bodies. When used on an APS-C camera, the effective focal length becomes approximately 112-480mm, giving you even greater telephoto reach.

Does the aperture range (F4-5.6) affect its low-light performance?

The variable aperture means the lens gathers less light as you zoom in (F5.6 at 300mm). However, the highly effective 4-stop Image Stabilization compensates for this, allowing you to use slower shutter speeds handheld and making it functional in moderate low-light conditions.

Does the lens extend when zooming?

Yes, this is not an inner zoom lens. The lens barrel extends considerably when zooming from 70mm to 300mm, which is typical for a compact and lightweight telephoto zoom of this range.
