Description

Overview_Telephoto lens 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.

Sports action requires a fast shutter speed and a long focal length. This lens easily complies thanks to its large maximum aperture--which supports a faster shutter speed--and its 300mm length. The lens also boasts a built-in, dual-mode Image Stabilizer (IS) function. This creates an equivalent shutter speed of up to four stops faster than the same size lens without an image stabilizer, letting you capture long distance hand-held shots far more assuredly. And thanks to the fluorite element and pair of UD-glass elements, the lens effectively corrects the chromatic aberrations that are prone to occur with telephoto lenses. Other features include the world's fastest autofocus (AF) speed with an improved Ring Ultrasonic Motor (USM) and new algorithms; a rugged, lightweight magnesium alloy lens barrel; and a detachable tripod collar that removes smoothly and locks securely. All Canon lenses carry a one-year warranty. Specifications Focal length: 300mm Maximum aperture: f/2.8 Lens construction: 17 elements in 13 groups Diagonal angle of view: 8 degrees at 15 feet Focus adjustment: Inner focusing system with USM Closest focusing distance: 8.2 feet Filter size: 52mm drop-in Dimensions: 5 inches in diameter and 9.9 inches long Weight: 90 ounces Warranty: 1 year Image Stabilization adds to whatís already a legendary professional lens. The 300mm f/2.8L IS lens focuses closer (down to 8.2 feet/2.5m), offers the worldís fastest autofocus when used with EOS bodies having 45-point AF, is gasketed and sealed against dust and moisture, and has a lightweight magnesium alloy barrel and tripod collar. Its image quality, aided by both Fluorite and UD-glass, is stellar, and its advanced IS even works on a rock steady tripod--as well as on a monopod or when hand-held. Long and Fast A telephoto lens is essential to any serious photographer. For sports action, you will need a fast shutter speed and a long focal length. A large maximum aperture allows a faster shutter speed. In this telephoto lens line-up, the focal lengths range from 135mm to 300mm. If you want compactness, choose a lens with a smaller maximum aperture.

    • Tack-Sharp
As good as it gets. Fast AF, image stabilization (that works), great color & contrast, and works well with the 2X extender making it a 600mm f5.6. It is expensive, but if you need a fast super telephoto with unbelievable image quality this is it. Can be effectively handheld for short periods, but best used with a tripod or monopod. If you check around you will find that this lens holds its resale value quite well, although most people that do part with this lens will later regret selling it. There are only a few on-line vendors I trust when ordering something of this cost. In the 10 years I've ordered from Amazon they have always not only honored their return policy, but on one occasion when the manufacturer was slow to help with a defect Amazon agreed to a refund well after the 30 day return policy had expired. If you are unsure, try renting first. As another poster mentioned, other lenses will pale in comparison. ... show more

    • The Canon 300mm F2.8 is a Great Lens
The image quality is very good with this lens. I have tried my Tamron 1.4x extender and do not notice much deterioration. I bought a Canon 2X version II and still don't see much deterioration. It works well on both my Canon 6D and my Canon 7D MKII. The obvious downside is that it's a heavy lens. It's much heaver then my Tamron 150-600mm lens. Of course this is a f2.8 while the Tamron is a f4.5-6.3. In comparing the IQ of the two lens, it's not even close, even though the Tamron is a good lens for the price. I bought a lens cover and a lens cap for the lens. The lens cap that comes with the lens is not very good IMO. The lens case is nice. ... show more

    • One of Canon's best
I could give it a 5 but nothing is perfect. The EF 300 is still a heavy lens although you can handhold it in good light. This lens is very sharp and you won't be disappointed. This lens works well with the Canon 1.4 and 2 x extenders so it gives you some options in terms of possible focal lengths. This lens is just incredibly sharp and if you can afford it, well worth the expense. ... show more

    • Nice glass
I bought this lens for sports photography. The Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM Super Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras is the classic sports photographer's lens, but it's almost twice the money and twice the weight. This was a compromise, and it's one I don't regret. Even so, this is a pretty heavy lens. It may be hand-holdable for some, but not for me. I almost always use a tripod or monopod, or brace it against something. With a monopod, it's easy to handle; I routinely use it to photograph 3-hour baseball games, and don't get tired. Because it's so heavy and bulky, it's not the kind of lens you bring with you casually. But I've found myself using it for a lot more than sports. Photographing flowers, say, to get that beautiful bokeh. I got some nice photos of the moon with it during the last eclipse. The sheer size of this lens does attract attention. People are always coming up to me and asking if I'm a reporter. The results are worth it, though. You'll get shots that are simply impossible with a lesser lens. (I have not had any problem taking this lens, with monopod, into spring training games and minor league baseball games. They will hassle you at some major league stadiums. If you want to photograph big league games, the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras might be a more practical choice. It's much smaller and lighter. No image stabilization, but is far easier to hand-hold.) UPDATE: I've since had a chance to use the Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS USM Telephoto Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras, and it may be an even better choice for sports photography. It is smaller, though just as heavy. The extra speed makes up for the shorter length, especially for night games. You can also use an extender and get almost the equivalent of the 300mm. ... show more

    • an excellent lens
This lens is very fast, it can focus very rapidly and follow accurately flying birds, this is the main reason I bought this lens. It excels in every respect, it can be hand held, very sharp even when the aperture is wide open, image stabilization is excellent and it is very fast lens, fast focusing. It can be used to photograph butterflies, dragonflies as I tested it on my 1.6 crop factor camera and found that it can photograph a 15 by 10cm rectangle, thus I can say that it has a maximum magnification of 1:6.7. This is an expensive lens, so if you think you will use it only occasionally, then I advice you not to buy it, otherwise it worth the price. ... show more

    • Pro Sports Photography
I'm a professional photographer and using this lens to give me some extra power for outdoor game photography. I often shoot from a standard sized football/soccer field from the end zone and can capture clear full-body sized action images when the players are in motion and from about 50 yards can capture good quality upper body/torso shots using the combination 1.4 extender with a 300mm 2.8 telephoto lens. Occasionally, I will use the 2.0 extender with the 300mm 2.8 lens when I want to get some upper body/torso shots about 75+ yards away from the opposite end zone. The image clarity and focus speed aren't noticably impacted by the extender vs lens alone and I would highly recommend this combination as an affordable option to buying a more expensive telephoto lens. ... show more

    • I finally made the leap
I frequently shoot motorcycles on the street and track. Last racing season, I rented this lens several times and fell in love with it. It has fantastic sharpness and great reach--which can be augmented with the 1.4x teledapter or the occasional 2.0x. (Throw in a camera with a 1.6 crop, and you've got a looong lens.) The two mode IS and the relatively light weight make this a great lens for doing pan shots. For setups where steadiness is required, the central monopod/tripod mount helps maintain the camera's balance although having a heavy camera (1DmkIIN or a 20D with a battery grip) helps. This lens was worth every penny. ... show more

Love the Mark 2 version of this lens. 'Sweet' ain't the word folks. Tack sharp image. Ultra-fast precision focus. Totally hand-holdable, even with a gripped DSLR. Get it. Now.
