This top-quality lens with a focal range of 70-300mm will be appreciated by action photographers and video enthusiasts. You can capture distant subjects, take photographs and capture videos of sports, wildlife or other types of action scenes. Together with its fast autofocus and optics, it will supplement photographic equipment of all photographers and cameramen who use Canon EOS. The lens boasts its new optics based on Canon's long-standing experience. This model has one ultra-low dispersion optical element, giving users sharp results with excellent colours and contrast and minimal chromatic aberration. The lens also uses a new 4 EV optical stabiliser that prevents effectively vibrations from blurring the resulting image even when zooming. Due to this great stabilisation, a tripod is not necessary in many situations, and users can shoot with longer exposure times without any negative effect on the sharpness of the photographs. The breakthrough Nano USM drive with smooth and quiet operation ensures very fast focusing and perfect object tracking, and thus perfect capturing of any action. Due to the universal range of focal lengths, the lens is ideal for portraits and for capturing dynamic situations - in the form of photos or videos.
