| Canon EF 70-300mmm f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens Features The EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM telephoto zoom lens has been developed to meet the high-performance standards that today's photographers demand. Improved Image Stabilizer Technology provides up to three stops of "shake" correction, and the "Mode 2" option stabilizes images while panning with a moving subject. Compared to the original Canon EF 75-300mm IS zoom lens, this telephoto lens has faster autofocus, and overall the lens is lighter and has a smaller diameter than the original. The zoom ring can be locked at the 70mm position, making this powerful lens easy to transport, too. | Select a Protection Plan

Comments about Canon 70-300mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens:
I do a lot of nature photography and animals, birds and insects do not hold still so I wanted the image stabilization that my other 70-300 Canon did not have. I have only found one drawback, and that is the lens chatters a lot on autofocus when trying to photograph butterflies and dragonflies because the lens keeps trying to shift between the insect and the bush/branch. I end up using manual focus a lot more that I want unless I use the AE mode and only the center focus point. I got some wonderful nesting bald eagle pictures in Punta Gorda this year. Overall, I do give this lens a very good rating.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Canon 70-300mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens:
I use this lens on a 40D and it's very nice for the price. IS is wonderful on a telephoto of this range. The range is great on a crop-sensor camera like the 40D (70-300mm is really 112-480mm!). I've taken very nice shots of the moon with this lens with just a bit of cropping. Works well with the 28-135mm kit lens on the 40D for a nice range with only 2 lenses. Very sharp and focuses quickly and silently with the USM motor. A nice feature is the 2-stage image stabilizer. One mode is for general IS, the other for panning which stabilizes the vertical-axis only. The end does rotate while focusing, so if you're using a polarizer that could be a pain. It could be a little faster, especially on the tele end, but those lenses cost 2-3x as much, so I consider this lens a great value for it's performance.
