Lens Info

Incorporating Canon's second generation Image Stabilization technology, this telephoto zoom responds in as little as 0.5 seconds, while providing up to three stops of correction for camera shake. Its AF system has been refined for better response time and tracking speed. And even the new 8-blade circular aperture offers a more pleasing out-of-focus image. Constructed to pro standards, this fast zoom is also highly resistant to dust and moisture, too.

Lens Hood and Tripod Mount Included

Julius's Take:

This is my second favorite lens because of its reach, the f2.8 aperture and the beautiful background blur it can produce. It's perfect for portraits and action sports photography, indoors or out! The IS is definately a welcomed feature because camera shake is more noticeable at focal lengths longer than 70mm. At three pounds this is not a light lens but its well worth the sore arm for the quality of photographs it can produce!
