Product Overview
Canon EF 70-300 F4-5.6 IS II USM is a telephoto zoom lens for Canon EF-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Canon in 2016, it has 17 elements in 12 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Canon EF 70-300 F4-5.6 IS II USM is externally-zooming. Fortunately, Canon has provided a zoom lock that at least stops zoom creep. Unfortunately, Canon has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
As a telephoto zoom lens, the Canon EF 70-300 F4-5.6 IS II USM is well suited for landscape and portrait photography, though its relatively dark maximum aperture limits its performance for indoor sports. Built-in image stabilization makes the lens easier to use handheld, and can be quite valuable for landscape works.
