Product details

A powerful and affordable addition to your standard kit lens, this high-quality zoom lens enhances your photography and improves image quality from greater distances. Ideal for outdoor sports and wildlife photography, the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM has a maximum telephoto focal length of 300mm, helping you get closer to your subject and fill the frame. The 9-blade circular aperture helps separate your subject from the background and creates beautiful bokeh effects, while the Nano USM technology focuses quickly and quietly on your subject. This makes the lens perfect for capturing images of fast-moving subjects as well as for creating a natural-looking focus shift during video recording.

Three more compact, less fast lenses offer more zoom for less money. The two 70-300 millimetre zooms from Canon and Tamron cost 525 and 310 euros respectively. The Canon has a slightly higher resolution and shows less backlight reflections than the Tamron.
