Nano USM AF is lightning fast in stills and especially smooth in video. The optical image stabilizer compensates for camera shake for premium image sharpness. This lens is suitable for both EOS cameras with full-frame sensors and APS-C sensors - ideal for photographers working with both formats or planning to switch to full-frame soon.
Top-notch performance when shooting from a distance
Ideal for shooting outdoor sports and nature. The EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM is compatible with both full-frame and APS-C cameras.
Get distant subjects up close
The maximum telephoto focal length of 300mm enables format-filling imaging of distant subjects. This makes the lens an ideal complement to your standard kit lens and expands your photographic possibilities.
Powerful focusing
The Nano USM allows you to focus on your subject quickly, smoothly and quietly. This makes the lens ideal for photographing fast-moving subjects, as well as for shooting video that isn't disturbed by motor noise and features natural-looking focus transitions.
Impressive image quality
The virtually circular 9-blade iris diaphragm helps in the selective use of attractive background blur (bokeh) to crop a subject. A special UD lens in the lens design helps reduce chromatic aberrations for superior image quality across the entire focal length range.
Always informed via the integrated lens display
An innovative display on top of the lens shows lens information at a glance, even in low ambient light. This is extremely helpful when shooting video in Live View mode, as it ensures there is no shake and also allows you to check the focusing distance and depth of field at different apertures.
Lightweight and compact
Weighing only about 710g and measuring 14.55cm when retracted, the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM is ideal when space is limited and when traveling.
Advanced optical design
Superior ultra-low dispersion (UD) lens optics enable high image quality with excellent contrast and high resolution, even in demanding shooting conditions.
Improved image stabilizer
The image stabilizer in the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM compensates for camera shake, allowing up to 4 stops longer exposure than without stabilization for a crisp, sharp shot.
