Manufacturer description: Telephoto lens newly equipped with an Image Stabilizer enabling hand-held shooting for easier movement. The fluorite element and two UD-glass elements effectively correct the chromatic aberrations prone to occur with telephoto lenses. With the EOS-1v and EOS-3, the AF speed becomes the world’s fastest.
Re: Focus speed of 300mm f/2.8 IS L II on the "R". I ordered the EOS R basically for that one lens. One interesting addition,for landscape, is that if you shoot with an EF lens you can get an adapter with an ND filter included. With that you can take long exposures on ANY EF lens. Canon EF 300 mm f/2.8 L IS II USM. 1. Introduction. The Canon EF 300 mm f/2.8 L IS II USM, although it has the II Roman numeral in its name, is, in fact, the third generation of the EF 300 mm f/2.8 USM lens which was launched in 1987. In July 1999 a new version was shown, equipped with optical image stabilization.The middle section of the EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II is also slightly narrower than the EF 300mm f/2.8 IS II. The photos below show both lenses side-by-side. In terms of hand holding, both lenses are very easy to hand hold, however the EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II feels surprisingly more comfortable to hand hold for very long durations.A worthy successor to the popular Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 IS, the all new Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 IS II USM super telephoto lens is lightweight, weighing approximately 8% less than its predecessor, yet offers faster operation, improved image stabilization and superior optics. . 252 354 234 206 54 399 280 24 164
