Sports photographers know this lens well. It is their bread and butter and you will see these lined up at football games all across the world! However, the 300mm is also an amazing portrait lens. It's depth of field is wide enough to capture a stunning portrait and yet be able to blur out the background to smithereens. It looks like a cannon right off the shoulders of War Machine but it's lite weight enough to hand hold.

Telephoto lens newly equipped with an Image Stabilizer enabling hand-held shooting for easier movement. The fluorite element and two UD-glass elements effectively correct the chromatic aberrations prone to occur with telephoto lenses. With the EOS-1v and EOS-3 the AF speed becomes the worlds fastest. To reduce the overall weight and enhance portability the lens barrel and many other exterior parts use a magnesium-alloy. Also the detachable tripod collar revolves smoothly and locks securely.
