EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L USM
A unique professional L-series lens,
covering an amazing 10x zoom range
from wide-angle to super-telephoto. It’s a
magnificent choice for travel photography
and other outdoor applications. The
zoom control hasa separate ring to adjust
or lockthe zooming action, enhancing
its already excellent handling. The 21-
element optical formula includes two
UD-glasselements, and at its 135mm
zoom setting, close-focusing to two feet
(0.6m) is possible.
EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM
This affordable and lightweight zoom
differs from the 75-300mm models
with its higher-performance ring-type
Ultrasonic focusing motor and superior
AF speed. It also uses rear group
focusing, so the front elements never
rotate during focusing, and adds full-
time manual focusing capability. It’s
excellent not just for outdoor sports,
butany subjects requiring the versatility
of a telephoto zoom.
EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
A truly professional L-series telephoto
zoom lens with Image Stabilization,
making hand-holding practical even at
its 400mm focal length. Both a Fluorite
and a Super UD-glass element ensure
outstanding contrast and sharpness,
and it accepts the EF Extenders 1.4xII
and 2x II. A ring-type USM makes AF
fast and silent down to 5.9 feet (1.8m),
and of course it offersfull-time manual
focusoverride. This durable L-series
lens is regarded by many pros as one of
the world’s finest telephoto zooms for
hand-held outdoor use.

EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III
The most affordable ofCanon’s long
telephoto zooms, this lens is excellent
for subjects from portraits to wildlife and
nature. It shares the same 13-element
optical system as the 75-300mm USM
lens, but uses a DC motor for autofocus.
Close-focusing down to 4.9 feet (1.5m)
allows filling the frame (at 300mm) with
a subject the size ofa dollar bill, and
it’s compatible with the Canon 58mm
Close-up lens 500D for even more
spectacular shotsof small objects.
EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
A significant lens in the history of Canon
optics, this was the firstSLR lens in the
world to offer Image Stabilization—
providing up to two stopsof improvement
in hand-held capabilityat slow shutter
speeds. Its 15-element optical formula
is unique, but it offers capabilities
similar to Canon’s 75-300 versions
without IS. Image Stabilization gives
this lensamazing real-world sharpness
in many situations, and is especially
advantageous when combined with
lightweight camera bodies.
