The Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Lens is newly equipped with an Image Stabilizer enabling hand-held shooting for easier movement. The fluorite element and two UD-glass elements effectively correct the chromatic aberrations prone to occur with telephoto lenses. With the EOS-1v and EOS-3, the AF speed becomes the world?s fastest. To reduce the overall weight and enhance portability, the lens barrel and many other exterior parts use a magnesium-alloy. Also, the detachable tripod collar revolves smoothly and locks securely.

High-performance L-series super-telephoto lens series with built-in dual-mode Image Stabilizer (IS) function.
Ultra-high image quality through new optical designs with Fluorite and UD Glass.
World''s highest AF speed with improved Ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor) and new algorithms for focus prediction with moving subjects.
Magnesium alloy lens barrels for reduced weight & rugged reliability.

"First I must say that the lens performance doesn't get any better than this Canon 300mm. It is the sharpest lens I have ever seen, or own. I'm using it as a 300mm, and also with a Canon 1.4x, and 2x converter on my 40D. If you do the Math on the APC Sensor on the 40D, you will see some fantastic …" Read Full Review »

Coupled with my Canon EOS 1D Mark III, this is an unbeatable combination of speed and low-light performance. The image stabilizer far surpasses that on my Canon 70 …" Read Full Review »

"This Lens is Very Pricey but well worth the $$$$. The Image Stabilizer Model is a HUGE Plus. We Have HAND HELD this lens with Great Results.

"I owned several Canon glasses. Just had to drop some bucks on this lens which is arguably Canons sharpest and fastest AF. Amazing sports use and in my case w/two daughters, dance recitals are no problem with a f/2.8 @ ISO 1600 with my 5D Mark II in a dark auditorium.

Simply amazing contrast, corne …" Read Full Review »
