Canon EF 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 IS II USM

First-class performance when shooting from a distance.

Ideal for shooting outdoor sports and nature. The EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM is compatible with both full-frame and APS-C cameras.

Outdoor Sports

Create the illusion of being right in the middle of the action. Capture the perfect serve, the goal, or the cheers on the field.

Nature

Get closer to nature than you ever dreamed possible and photograph birds in flight, animals on safari, or at a wildlife park.

Travel

Travel photography isn't just for globetrotters - even sightseeing, lazy days, or completely spontaneous moments can be precious memories.

Getting distant subjects close up

The maximum telephoto focal length of 300mm enables format-filling images of distant subjects. This makes the lens an ideal complement to your standard kit lens and expands your photographic possibilities.

Powerful focusing

The Nano USM allows you to focus on your subject quickly, smoothly, and quietly. This makes the lens ideal for photographing fast-moving subjects, as well as for shooting video that isn't disturbed by motor noise and features natural-looking focus transitions.

Impressive image quality

The virtually circular 9-blade iris diaphragm helps in the selective use of attractive background blur (bokeh) to crop a subject. A special UD lens in the lens design helps reduce chromatic aberrations for superior image quality across the entire focal length range.

Always informed via the integrated lens display

An innovative display on top of the lens shows lens information at a glance, even in low ambient light. This is extremely helpful when shooting video in Live View mode, as it ensures there is no shake and also allows you to check the focusing distance and depth of field at different apertures.

Lightweight and compact

Weighing only about 710g and measuring 14.55cm in length when retracted, the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM is ideal when space is limited and when traveling.
