The Canon EF 300 mm f/2.8 IS II USM super telephoto lens is lightweight and yet offers faster operation, improved image stabilization and superior optics. Incorporating Fluorite elements for improved image quality and reduced chromatic aberration plus a number of advanced coatings to minimize ghosting, flaring, and with a Fluorine coating that keeps soiling, smears and fingerprints to a minimum, the EF 300 mm f/2.8 IS II USM is ready to deliver spectacular images in an instant. With an image stabilization mode that activates IS only when the shutter button is fully pressed, and giving the equivalent effect of a shutter speed four stops faster, the EF 300 mm f/2.8 IS II USM allows for easy panning and is ideally positioned for professional action photography. The EF 300 mm f/2.8 IS II USM also features a security slot for wire-type security locks.
