Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM Zoom Lens with Hoya UV Filter + Canon Cleaning Kit

The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM lens is the ideal telephoto zoom lens for advanced amateurs looking for that extra reach to bring a subject in tight and close. Providing the power and durability to maximize every shooting opportunity the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM lens features two UD ultra-low dispersion glass elements for enhanced sharpness L-series weather and dust sealing for shooting in harsh conditions improved mechanical design and streamlined ergonomics to help avoid inadvertent mode switch operation. The shapes of the lens elements and their coatings have been optimized to minimize ghosting and flare to produce high-contrast and high-resolution throughout the zoom range. A sophisticated floating system optical formula optimizes image quality at all distance settings and reduces minimum focusing distance by more than a foot. An updated optical image stabilization system compensates for camera shake up to an equivalent of four full shutter-speed steps a full step improvement compared to earlier EF 70-300mm lenses. A fluorine anti-smear coating is applied to the front and rear elements. Key Features: L-series robust performance in all conditions Some say L stands for Low Dispersion - achieved by the UD lens elements found in these lenses. But the true answer is probably the one in Canons Lens Work III Book - L is for Luxury. In general Canon L series lenses focus fast. The wide maximum apertures (smallest number) and fast quiet USM motors (Ultrasonic Motors) enhance focusing speed. The image quality of the Canon L lenses is generally as good as it gets. Contrast sharpness color bokeh (background/foreground blur quality) flare CA (Chromatic Aberration) ... All are excellent. Full Frame camera body owners will especially find L series lenses to be (on average) significantly sharper toward the edges of the frame compared to lesser lenses.
