A light, long-reach EF zoom for occasional telephoto use - wildlife, sports, distant events. Reaches 480mm-equivalent on APS-C bodies. Without IS, a faster shutter speed or tripod is essential at the 300mm long end.
Frequently asked questions
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
No. The USM variant predates Canon's consumer IS telephoto zooms. Stabilised alternatives include the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM and the EF-S 55-250mm IS.
Will it work on Canon RF mirrorless bodies?
Yes, via the Canon EF-EOS R adapter. Autofocus and IS are preserved, and the lens functions normally on R, R5, R6, R7, R8, R50 and other RF bodies.
