Amazon.com Product Description
Canon raises the stakes for professional photography with its EF 28-300mm USM ultra-high magnification zoom lens with image stabilization. This handy, compact zoom lens offers versatility, easy subject selection, and the highest optical performance in its class. The 11x zoom range covering everything from wide-angle to telephoto, and you can focus in on subjects as close as 2.3 feet. A powerful ring-type USM drive provides silent. Featuring a dust- and moisture-proof "white lens," it is designed to appeal to professional EOS photographers looking to reduce lens changes and the number of lenses they need to carry.
Image Stabilization
The lens incorporates Canon's Image Stabilization (IS) technology, compensating for approximately three stops without any perceptible increase in image blur when shooting static subjects or panning. This increases the range of circumstances in which hand-held photography is possible, limiting the need to carry a tripod.
Fast Auto-Focus
The inner focusing ring-type ultrasonic motor (USM) converts ultrasonic vibrational energy into rotational force to deliver high-speed, high-precision, super efficient and virtually noiseless auto focusing, with good holding torque for rapid response, accurate stopping. Full-time manual override without damage to the autofocus mechanism is featured. Minimum focusing distance is just 0.7m throughout the entire zoom range.
Ready for Digital Photography
The lens shape and coatings have been optimized to suppress ghosting and flaring, making this lens ideal for use with digital cameras that are more susceptible to reflections off the recording media than are film cameras.
Precision Optics
This lens features 22 elements in 16 groups for low distortion, high corner-to-corner resolution throughout the entire zoom range. As with all EF lenses, aperture is controlled with an EMD (electromagnetic diaphragm) for fast, quiet, highly precise control and incorporates a circular aperture diaphragm for beautifully pleasing background blur, from full aperture to two stops down.
The use of 3 Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass elements effectively curtails the residual chromatic aberrations that can plague lesser quality long lenses, while aspherical elements correct various kinds of aberration that occur during zooming to give the lens the unsurpassed clarity and resolving power that are the hallmark of professional L-series lenses.
Environmental protection
The EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM features a rugged dust-proof and drip-proof construction, designed for professional photographers working in harsh environments under a wide range of operating temperatures and humidities.
Customer Reviews:
Great all-around lens.......2007-08-08
The other reviewers have done a great job outlining the pros and cons of this lens. I've had mine over 1.5 years now, and it is the lens I use the most and the one that gets the best photos. I've used it for sports photography (tennis), hiking, nature, fireworks, etc. The weight is significant, but I don't notice it when I shoot because I am so wrapped up in what I am doing. I did buy a new camera strap made of neoprene and this makes the around-the-neck weight very bearable.
The best One-For-All-lens you can get .......2007-07-24
This is the best One-For-All-lens for your Canon body--as long as it is a 1.3xFOV body like that is 1DMkII, 1DMkIIN or 1DMkIII. For my liking it's too long on the wide end for a 1.6xFOV body. Versatility and quality are as outstanding as color and contrast. You can get pictures that you otherwise would not get without this one lens. The IS makes it perfect for almost all situations. A perfect travel lens and a great walk-around lens even though it is really heavy. It's my preferred lens if I don't know precisely what to expect. See http://www.meview.de
Best single lens available.......2007-06-19
This is a great lens and is probably the best single lens for all around shooting. For shooting landscapes, closeups, action shots, this lens can do it all. Yes, it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. It also comes with case and 83G lens hood - you don't need to buy these as extras.
Versatility coupled with Clarity.......2006-08-15
I love this lens, for some people its either a love it or a hate it. Although there is a long lists of pros, it is not perfect. Yes, there have been complaints about the weight, and there is also a 20% battery life reduction so a battery grip or an extra battery is needed. To be honest though, the pros definately out weigh the cons.
I am an ARMY infantryman and I'm using it here in Iraq and it has been AMAZING. the rugged structure and solid build have truly been battle tested.
If photography is really you're passion then like most passions bear the price you have to pay for those perfect shots accompanied by utmost bliss. I life is all about the perfect memories we take with us.
Great Lens But.................2006-07-16
All I can say is that everything written in the other reviews is true - it is one great performing and versatile lens. But be aware it is one heavy dumb bell, and you need to be just about a pro to put up with it. You'll be tired from carrying the thing after a two or three hour photographic shoot if not before.
However I guess we should have known that beforehand shouldn't we - the lens is (obviously) professionally built made of metal, and has more glass in it than a medium size window pane. You don't get this kind of versatility otherwise.
