Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USMA Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras description
The Canon EF 100-300mm lens completes a fusion of state-of-the-art electronics, mechanical precision, and optical excellence. The fully electronic EF lens mount is unique among 35mm SLR cameras, operating silently and reliably due to the complete elimination of mechanical couplings. It has a custom- designed autofocus motor and microprocessor, and employs ultrasonic motor technology, aspherical lens elements, flourite crystal and ultralow-dispersion glass. The EF 100-300mm is designed for use with all EOS cameras, allows auto and manual focus modes, rear focusing system, and has an affordable price. |

Excellent lens for medium telephoto
|
This Japanese made lens is compact, light weight and well made. I use it in combination with a Canon IS 28-135mm lens and a 50mm prime lens. These lens cover most of my photo needs. Focusing is fast and accurate with the ring type USM auto-focus. Ring type USM focusing allows fine adjustment to the focus without switching to manual focus mode. This is not the case on the USM motor focus found on the lower cost 75-300mm Canon lens.
My lens stays quite sharp to the eye at full zoom. The lens is effectively a 160-480mm with the 1.6 cropping factor of my Canon 30D.
AS the lens does not have image stablization, it is best used with a tripod in lower light. Perhaps some of the softness reported by others at 300mm is actually the result of camera shake which is hard to avoid at full zoom.
Finally in my view the build quality of the Canon 100-300mm lens is superior to the lower cost 75-300mm USM lens. The Canon EF70-200 f/4 L is sharper but far more expense.
