Optical Characteristics

With a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 29-320mm, this lens offers a Powerful Telephoto perspective.

Recommended Applications

*Recommendations are based only on the features necessary to perform the application successfully and do not take into account the relative image quality of different lenses

Field-based Sports

300-400mm focal lengths produce scenic shots in field sports played in stadiums. Action close-ups require 500-600mm lenses. Fast ultrasonic focus is a must to quickly capture movement. Tripod mounting is recommended.

Technologies

Aspherical Lenses

Canon’s aspherical lens elements converges central and peripheral light rays at a single focal point to ensure uniform sharpness and clarity over the whole image area. Now found in almost every EF lens, aspherical lens elements are particularly useful for large-aperture lenses, wide-angle lenses and high quality compact zoom lenses.

UD Lenses

UD (Ultra Low Dispersion) lens elements incorporate low-dispersion optical glass which minimizes distortion and chromatic aberration.

Super Spectra Coating

Canon's multi layer Super Spectra coating allows up to 99.9% of light through to the CMOS sensor, over a range that extends from ultra violet to near-infrared light. As well as minimising ghosting and flare, Super Spectra Coating ensures a consistent colour balance across all EF lenses and plays a key part in delivering the sharp, high-contrast results that Canon lenses are renowned for.

Image Stabilizer (IS)

Canon's Image Stabilizer (IS) technology uses a lens shift-type system to detect and correct slight camera shakes. Minute gyro sensors detect lens vibrations caused by hand shake and send a signal to a microcomputer, which controls an IS lens group that compensates movement along the horizontal and vertical axis of the camera. EF lenses with IS technology enable steady shooting at up to four stops lower than is possible with conventional lenses, making them ideal for situations where the use of flash is not permitted or desired.
