Canon EF 28-300mm F/3.5-5.6 L IS USM

Details

Do you want one lens to do it all? One lens to go from shooting a wide crowd scene to zooming in on the centre of attention? A lens that you could take travelling and require nothing else? If so, the EF28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM lens should be at the top of your list. With an 11x zoom range, this lens offers versatility in how you record a scene.

Use it for wildlife – shoot wide and put the animal in its habitat, then zoom in tightly for a head portrait. Take it to a wedding and capture the group shots and the candid portraits. Go travelling with it and shoot city scenes, architectural details and portraits, all without changing lens.

The inclusion of a 3-stop image stabiliser means you can handhold the lens even at the maximum focal length and still achieve sharp pictures. Featuring two types of aspherical lens element – two glass mold (GMo) and one replica – and three ultra-low dispersion (UD) elements, the optical performance is as expected from an L-series lens, with sharp, high contrast images and minimised aberrations.

The ring-type USM autofocus motor will ensure you don’t miss a shot through poor focus and the full-time manual focus ability gives you the option of fine-tuning the focus at any time. Dust and drip proof construction, especially effective when attached to an EOS-1series camera, mean this lens is ready to work in severe conditions. A friction zoom ring tops off the lens to allow you to set the zoom action for the subjects you’re shooting.
