Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM Review

 

When we first saw the new Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM lens, we thought it just looked like a standard 70-300mm lens with a white overcoat on. After using the lens for some time, we're blown away by the image clarity, sharpness, build quality and...

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM Review

 

The Canon 70-300mm ƒ/4-5.6L IS USM didn't produce tack-sharp results, but it produced a consistently good images at each focal length, with good control of chromatic aberration. While you can certainly spend less money to get the same range of focal...

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM review

 

Canon's EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM lens doesn't have the impressive numbers you would expect from a professional optic, especially in the aperture range, and its compact size has meant some of the sleek features such as internal zoom haven't been...

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM Lens Review

 

Excellent build quality, Very good sharpness that is consistent through the range, Low CA, Low distortion, Effective optical stabilisation

May seem expensive for a f/4-5.6 zoom (although the premium is probably worth the extra in this case)

Canon EF 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM

 

When testing 70-300 mm devices we've mentioned time and again that there is a wide range of those instruments, coming from different producers, available. The users of Canon reflex cameras have an especially impressing array at their disposal. The...

high build quality – the most solid 70-300 mm class lens we’ve dealt with so far ; excellent image quality in the frame centre and for all focal length and apertures to boot ; good image quality on the edge of the APS-C frame ; good image quality on...

average work against bright light ; a bit too high vignetting on full frame
