Best Price Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM UD Telephoto Zoom Lens Review

70-300mm is used to be the most popular zoom range for many photographers.

Now Canon has developed a L-series 70-300 lens for photographers who demand high quality and speed. Canon developed the new Canon EF 70-300 f/4-5.6L IS lens for shooting extra quality images in situations where the speed is important.

What you will get with Canon EF 70-300 f/4-5.6L:

• improved picture quality with reduced chromatic aberration thanks to Ultra Low Dispersion (UD) elements
• increased sharpness in the whole zoom range thanks to floating focusing mechanism
• new advanced IS (Optical Image Stabilization) System that improves image quality even more
• removable tripod collar

As all L-series lenses, the new Canon EF 70-300 f/4-5.6L lens body is white. Now you should not fear smearing and fingerprints because the lens is covered with special fluorine coating that prevents dirt sticking to the lens. In addition to that the EF 70-300 features dust and water resistant construction.

People who have tested the new Canon L-series EF 70-300mm lens were surprised that the 70-300 feels featherweight when compared with the 70-200/2.8

Zoom works smoothly, and the lens focuses quickly and accurately at every focal length, be it 70mm or 300mm.

The IS ensures the superb image quality even in difficult conditions.

The problem of this lens is that it has aperture of f/4 only in the 70-100mm zoom range. It is more like f/5.6 in the rest of the zoom range. That means that use of auto focus will be problematic if you have lower end Canon DSLR camera. If you have EOS 5D Mark II or more expensive camera, it will not be a problem.

 If you have a high end Canon digital SLR camera and you need an universal(ish) quality lens, the new Canon EF 70-300 f/4-5.6L lens will be an excellent choice.
