Editorial Review: Product Description: AF is super-fast and silent with a ring-type USM, and it focuses down to 4.6 feet without rotating the front element. A new zoom lock button keeps the lens safe and secure when not in use or used at the wide angle. Amazon.com Product Description: Canon raises the stakes for professional photography with its EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM telephoto lens with image stabilization. Thanks to a new triple-layered diffractive optical element (DO), this 70-300mm lens is less than 4 inches (10 cm) long. It can focus down to 4.6 feet (without rotating the front element) and a new zoom lock button keeps the lens safe and secure when not in use or used at the wide angle. A virtually silent ultra-sonic motor (USM) gives the lens extremely fast autofocus. The lens also includes Canon's Image Stabilization technology to dramatically reduce camera shake, compensating for approximately three stops in shutter speed without any perceptible increase in image blur. It's a great choice for professional photojournalists and serious advanced amateurs who need to contain the size and weight of equipment carried. DO Elements Use of the new three-layer DO lens drastically reduces the overall length and weight of the lens system increasing the refractive power of each lens element and reducing the spaces between elements. It's approximately 26 percent shorter and 36 percent lighter than any lens of comparable specifications. Zoom lock The EF 70-300mm lens features a zoom ring locking mechanism, locking the lens at its shortest total length. This helps to protect the lens from potential damage by preventing the zoom elements extending under their own weight, which might otherwise occur when the lens is mounted to a camera that hangs from a neck or shoulder strap. Image Stabilization The lens incorporates Canon's Image Stabilization (IS) technology, compensating for approximately three stops without any perceptible increase in image blur when shooting static subjects or panning. This increases the range of circumstances in which hand-held photography is possible, limiting the need to carry a tripod. Fast AF A rear focusing ring type USM, high-speed CPU and new AF algorithms combine to give the lens extremely fast auto-focusing. The ring-type ultrasonic motor (USM) converts ultrasonic vibrational energy into rotational force to deliver high-speed, high-precision, super efficient and virtually noiseless auto focusing, with good holding torque for rapid response and accurate stopping. Full-time manual override is featured, removing the possibility of damage to the autofocus mechanism during manual focus. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 1.4m throughout the entire zoom range. Ready for Digital Photography The lens shape and coatings have been optimized to suppress ghosting and flaring, making this lens ideal for use with digital cameras that are more susceptible to reflections off the recording media than are film cameras. Working with EOS The drive pattern of the lens is tailored to specifically match that of the latest EOS range, extracting maximum benefit from the lens' speed advantage. The lens comes with a case LP1116 and an exclusive hood ET-65B for shading against unwanted direct light. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Excellent lens with a 40DPaired this lens up with a 40D. After several months of heavy use: Highs: Solid feel, well built. Works very well - even at 12000ft+ and well below freezing, always ready for use straight out of the bag on long hikes. Easy to focus precisely. Zoom stays in place even when pointed vertically - up or down - without the lock button. I may be lucky and have a good build of the lens. Excellent resolution in shots. Small - easy to pack and take on hiking trips. ... Read More Rating: - Excellent lens - caution: the lens hood comes with itExcellent quality and fast lens. Heavier than I expected. Note, when ordering this lens DON'T also order the Canon ET-65B Lens Hood because it comes with the lens. Rating: - Light high quality lensI have owned this lens for several years and although I have upgraded to almost all L lens, including the 35L, 135L, two different 70-200 IS L lens, I always bring this lens when travelling. Over the years I have taken many "keeper" photos with it, including shots taken at children's soccer games where I can shoot without being so conspicuous (try that when shooting with the big "white" lens), at dog shows, street shots, etc. The sheer compact size is enough to keep it in my bag but also the ... Read More Rating: - Must have for traveling I'm very new to photography but I bought this on the recommendation of a friend who takes a lot of pictures. I took this lens on safari in Africa. It was awesome. The trip and the lens. The size is nice as I could fit the camera with the lens on into a normal carrying case so I was always ready. The image stabilizer worked perfectly. Since I was zoomed all the way out for most pictures, I wouldn't have gotten any good shots since I couldn't use a tripod in the range rover. I highly recommend ... Read More Rating: - Outstanding Lens for your 40D or your Rebel xtiI have used this lens for 2 years on my rebel, 20 D and now on my 40D. It is an excellent lens and has never dissappointed me. There are technical reviews that talk about some image softness, but I have not found this to be true. It is the best lens you can carry around without a tripod and get a high zoom range. For sports photos it isn't a very fast lens, but you can just turn the ISO up to 800 or 1600 and get great shots ( lbiet with some noise that you can photoshop filter. It is especially and ...
