This successor to the Canon 300mm f/2.8L IS is one of the best telephoto lenses available. It’s perfect for nature and sports photography. Key features include:
Improved image quality
Improved, four-stop image stabilization
Faster, more accurate autofocus
L-series build quality at a lighter weight
What’s New? The Canon 300mm f/2.8L IS II is significantly lighter in weight, has better image stabilization (four stops compared to two), and is a bit sharper (particularly in the corners) than its predecessor. It has a faster autofocus CPU with dedicated algorithms that significantly increase autofocusing speed and accuracy. There’s also a “power focusing” mode for video that focuses smoothly to a preset recall position.
Teleconverter Compatible. It remains quite sharp with 1.4x and even 2x teleconverters.
