EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM

Close in on the action with the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM telephoto zoom lens. With a wide zoom range and fast, near-silent autofocus, it can be ideal for anyone looking to capture distant subjects. Equipped with NANO USM technology it quickly focuses so you're able to get the exact moment you want, as it happens. This technology also helps provide ultra-quiet operation while video recording to help ensure the only audio you hear is what you intended to keep.

While you're setting up that ideal shot, the new Lens Information Display provides a convenient way to check focal length, focus distance or depth of field with just a quick glance. If you find yourself without a tripod and unable to keep the camera perfectly steady, built-in Image Stabilization will help keep your images as clear as possible despite camera movement.

Inside, the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM has an optimally-placed UD lens element which helps produce high-contrast and high-detail images while reducing chromatic aberrations. Combining a wide zoom range with fast autofocus and high-quality optics, the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM is perfect for APS-C camera and full-frame camera photographers, or anyone looking to expand their lens options with a fast and powerful telephoto zoom lens.

Specifications

  • Focal Length & Maximum Aperture: 70–300mm f/4–5.6
  • Lens Construction: 17 elements in 12 groups
  • Diagonal Angle of View: 34°–8°15'
  • Focus Adjustment: AF with full-time manual
  • Closest Focusing Distance: 3.94 ft. / 1.2m
  • Filter Size: 2.6 in. / 67mm diameter
  • Max. Diameter x Length, Weight: Φ3.15 x 5.73 in., approx. 25.04 oz. / Φ80 x 145.5mm, approx. 710g

High-speed autofocus

High-speed autofocus for shooting stills and smooth, near-silent autofocus when shooting video are achieved by incorporating NANO USM technology.

The EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM's NANO USM technology delivers quick, near-silent autofocus whether you're capturing an athlete jumping for a ball or recording wildlife in their natural habitat. For still images, it provides high-speed autofocus to help ensure you get the shot you want. When recording videos, the near-silent operation keeps unwanted noise out of your videos. For additional artistic control, manual focus is also possible even when the lens is set for autofocus. This means that when recording a video, for example, you can slowly pull in or out of focus for a dramatic effect.

Lens Information Display

New Lens Information Display shows focusing distance, focal length and shake amount.

The EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM features a new integral Lens Information Display for fast access to a wide variety of lens information. This lets you see the information you need at a glance, and then get right back to taking photos. The focusing distance display mode provides the distance the lens is focusing and an estimate of the depth of field, while the focal length display mode shows the 35mm-equivalent focal length. In shake amount display mode, the Lens Information Display gives an estimate of how much the lens and the camera are moving. To aid viewing in different lighting conditions, both black text on a light background or light text on a black background are selectable.

One UD Lens

One UD Lens helps reduce chromatic aberration and delivers outstanding high-resolution and high-contrast results.

With an all-new design, the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM features 12 groups with 17 total elements, including an optimally positioned UD lens. UD, or Ultra Low Dispersion, helps correct chromatic aberrations (colored halos around objects) while reducing color blurring and keeping overall detail high. This helps the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM produce sharp, high-contrast, richly colorful images throughout its zoom range.


Image Stabilizer effect at up to 4* stops of shake correction helps capture sharp images.

9 blade circulate aperture

Full-time manual focus

  • Circular aperture (9 blades) helps deliver beautiful, soft backgrounds.
  • Full-time manual focus allows manual focus adjustment while in AF Mode.

Image Stabilizer

For consistently sharp results, the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM features an improved Image Stabilizer system that provides significantly enhanced shake reduction for up to 4 stops* of shutter speeds. This means more reliable handheld performance and clearer detail in low-light situations or at lower ISOs. Because of its enhanced stabilization, the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM can also help minimize the need for a tripod.

* Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards. Testing performed using the EOS-1D X digital SLR camera at a focal length of 300mm.

    Sharp and Stable, Recommended
    This is a sharp and stable lens. The IS (image stabilization) is especially impressive. I got a few sharp hand held images at 300mm shot at 1/25th sec. with a higher success rate by 1/80th sec. [Photo of squirrel was 1/80 sec. @ 300mm] This far exceeds the recommended 1/300th sec. for this focal length on a full frame camera.As others have mentioned, this is not an "L" caliber lens from Canon ($1350.00) but a less expensive zoom with a more manageable weight. The new LCD information window is not useful to me as focal length is already printed less than an inch away on the lens body and depth of field may be better determined with the "preview" button or by looking at a test shot. I have not tested the focal responsiveness of the new nano focus feature but I will assume it is on a par with my 18-135 lens with the same engineering. Nano focus is used for continual fast auto focus, especially while shooting video. For stills, the auto focus is fast and responsive. My tests so far have been on my full frame Canon 5D Mk IV and even the corners appear sharp. See the red hibiscus image where the yellow stamin in the corner is sharp.My 300mm f4 L series prime lens is slightly sharper with more contrast but it weighs more, can't zoom and costs significantly more. This zoom is a fine vacation lens where the weight reduction is greatly appreciated. The IS (rated at 4 stops) means the loss of light from a 5.6 lens can be somewhat compensated with a slower shutter speed (with a stable subject). The lens bokeh (out of focus background blur) is pleasant and useful to isolate the subject (see the image of the dove).All of the attached sample images were hand held. I will further test the lens on a crop sensor Canon 80D and will report any changes here. On a crop sensor camera, this lens becomes a 112mm to 480mm zoom.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2019
    The image stabilization is nice. You can hear it engage and disengage, but it's no louder than a shutter click. Focusing makes virtually no noise at all. I don't use the LCD on top of the lens at all, but it functions pretty nicely if you did need to use it. You'll definitely need to make sure your shutter speed is high enough to get clear shots with this lens, especially when fully extended, but that's to be expected. Also, while this lens can stop down to f/4-5.6, you'll definitely want to have it set at least a bit higher for really crisp shots. Another thing to note, the focus ring on this lens is electronic, meaning the lens has to be powered in order to change focus. This isn't usually an issue, but if your camera goes to sleep or low power mode after a little while (like mine), you will have to wake up the camera (for example by half-pressing the shutter button) to change focus. So, if you plan on using extension tube(s) (aka the poor man's macro adapter) you will not be able to change focus.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2020
    I am just a guy that takes pictures, sold some online, amateur photographer. I really like the wide zoom range and fast, autofocus. The Lens Information Display is a great feature I like. The Image Stabilizer system is great for zooming in, it really helps me. I've used cheaper zoom lenses but always struggled with light and image stability. I am a point and click type and this lens is perfect for what I use it for. I waffled on other lenses with slightly cheaper price tag and am glad I went to this one, super happy. So easy to use, anyone can grab and use and have great results.
