Versatile Telephoto Zoom
The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM is a telephoto zoom lens designed for Canon EOS cameras. It covers a 70 to 300mm focal range suitable for travel, sports and general photography. The variable aperture runs from f/4 to f/5.6 across the zoom range. It works with both APS-C and full-frame bodies.
Easy Installation With Nano USM
The lens mounts directly to any Canon EF or EF-S mount without adapters. Nano USM delivers fast, near-silent autofocus for stills and smooth focus transitions for video. The built-in Image Stabilizer compensates for camera shake at longer focal lengths. An on-lens LCD information display shows focus distance and stabilization status at a glance. Common issues include forgetting to activate the stabilizer switch or leaving the lens unlocked during transport.
Check Mount Compatibility First
Verify that your camera uses the Canon EF or EF-S mount before ordering. This lens is not compatible with RF-mount mirrorless bodies without a separate adapter. Ensure you have a clean rear element and functional electronic contacts on the camera body. The variable maximum aperture means less light reaches the sensor at 300mm compared to 70mm.
