Key Specs
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Canon EF
- Lens Type: Telephoto Zoom
- Minimum Focal Length: 70 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 300 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/5.6 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

So this is what a white Canon lens feels like...
"Oh wow, that IS heavy!" I think those were my first words when I held this hunk of metal at my Best Buy. Seems like nowadays everything is made out of plastic, even things that really would be better off in a metal casing, like cell phones! (hint hint) Feeling good in weight it got me intrigued, I had had the $200~ Canon 75-300mm before and was not too impressed. The pictures that lens produced were good enough for someone who had had a Rebel T3 but at this point I'm looking more towards the future and I had my chance to give this thing a chance, and if I were being rational, I'd say no, I don't need this, but what do we need? All philosophy aside, this is obviously an expensive piece of glass, but the pictures it's producing for even myself, a serious, yet amateur photographer, are stunning. I'm amazed at what a little bit of research and tinkering can net me now! I bought this along with the Canon 7D Mark II and I couldn't be happier about that overall purchase. This was a very exciting evening for me, opening up the boxes for these items and this lens has not been put aside much at all! Even though the F stop on this is 4-5.6, it really is more than good enough! It compliments my Sigma 18-35mm F/1.8 very well! While I really wanted the Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 L II IS USM, I simply couldn't afford that nor necessarily justify such an increase in price, especially considering the shorter focal range. While I understand the benefits of the bigger constant F stop, I really want to do more things that I feel will benefit more from the farther reach this lens will provide. Like I said, the pictures this lens produces are great, it feels very well built, and not to mention, it's actually quite SMALL when it is fully retracted! It's less than half an inch longer than my Sigma in this state, which is impressive! Red rings are nice.

For enthusiast and professionals.
I initially rented this lens and after just a couple of days decided to purchase it. The quality of the pictures are magazine like. I do not regret buying this lens at all. Great walking around/ wildlife lens. I just wish it was a little cheaper, but I have never gotten a picture with this quality out of my kit lens.
