Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM review
A worthy successor to the popular Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 IS, the all-new
Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM super telephoto lens is lightweight,
weighing approximately 8% less than its predecessor, yet offers faster
operation, improved image stabilization and superior optics. Incorporating
Fluorite elements for improved image quality and reduced chromatic
aberration plus a number of advanced coatings to minimize ghosting,
flaring, and with a newly developed Fluorine coating that keeps soiling,
smears and fingerprints to a minimum, the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM is
ready to deliver spectacular images in an instant. With a third Image
Stabilization mode (Mode 3) that activates IS only when the shutter button
is fully pressed, and giving the equivalent effect of a shutter speed four
stops faster, the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM allows for easy panning and is
ideally positioned for professional action photography. The EF 300mm f/2.8L
IS II USM also features a new security slot for wire-type security locks.
