Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM Lens

The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II USM is a flexible zoom lens well-suited for a variety of subjects, ranging from portraiture to wildlife.

The lens utilises NANO USM technology that combines a fast, stills-optimised ring-type Ultrasonic Motor and a smooth, silent video-optimised Stepping Motor for all-around focusing performance to benefit multimedia image-makers. This dual-purpose AF motor also offers notably quicker performance throughout the zoom range for more responsive shooting from near to far. An Image Stabiliser system also compensates for up to four stops of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting when working with slower shutter speeds.

For easy recognition, the lens also has an Information Display, which clearly showcases focus distance, focal length and stabiliser settings on a top-facing screen. Benefitting optical performance, the lens' construction utilises one Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) element to control chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for improved clarity, and, additionally, a nine-blade diaphragm is used to produce a pleasing bokeh quality for shallow depth of field imagery.
