Bright, fast f/2.8 aperture Robust L series build Image Stabilisation The Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM is a prime telephoto lens best suited to nature and sports photography. With a tripod mount on the collar and image stabilisation it’s possible to use the lens in a wide variety of difficult conditions without affecting image quality, especially as the robust L series build provides protection against less favourable weather. With a Full Frame DSLR, such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, or a more advanced APS-C model such as the EOS 7D, the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM is capable of shooting professional-level images of wildlife and sports. The f/2.8 aperture is bright and fast enough to track a moving subject easily, and produce well-exposed images in lower light conditions. Thanks to the Ultrasonic autofocus-motor focus is also extremely quick and quiet, so a sensitive subject won’t be disturbed when adjustments are being made. The Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM is lighter, with a closer minimum focus distance than the original incarnation, with the second generation image stabilisation providing a significant advantage.
