Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM

 

Canon's EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM lens covers an incredible zoom range and works with full-frame cameras, but its price and just-ok optics make it a tough sell.

10.7x zoom range. Full-frame compatibility. Reasonably sharp through most of its range. Includes lens hood and tripod collar.

Expensive. Noticeable distortion. Soft edges. Push-pull zoom design. Some color fringing.

Zooms that cover this range are pretty common for APS-C D-SLRs, with the Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM, which covers the same field of view as the Canon lens, being one of the better examples. The Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM makes a...

Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens

 

The Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens is the right choice for those times when you need a wide range of focal lengths but only one lens can go with you and both lens and image quality cannot be compromised.The 28-300 L is the best Canon...

Canon EF 28-105mm f/4.0-5.6 USM Lens

 

The Canon EF 28-105mm f/4.0-5.6 USM Lens often gets confused with the noticeably higher quality Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM Lens. It is, however, a vastly different lens

Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM review

 

The Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM is less of a ‘travel lens', more of a juggernaut

Supersized zoom range ; Solid build and performance ; Tripod mounting ring included

Comparatively big and heavy ; Expensive to buy

So-called ‘superzoom’ lenses are generally very travel-friendly options, with a compact and lightweight build that makes them ideal for anything and everything from city walkabouts and countryside treks, to jetting around the world. This Canon has a...

Canon EOS 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens Review

 

I love this lens, about as much as anyone can love an inanimate object. I know this isn't a very objective way of beginning a review, but I don't think my praise is unfounded. I hope to be able to provide a few sample images soon in the way of support...

You'll pay more for this lens ($325 at B&H) than you will for similar third-party offerings or Canon's lesser-quality consumer zooms like the 28-80 or 35-80, but in my opinion, the difference in price is worth it
