Case, ET-120 Hood, Wide Strap, 52mm Drop-In Gel Filter Holder (with glass filter mounted), Detachable Tripod Collar.

Overview

Telephoto lens newly equipped with an Image Stabilizer enabling hand-held shooting for easier movement. The fluorite element and two UD-glass elements effectively correct the chromatic aberrations prone to occur with telephoto lenses. With the EOS-1v and EOS-3, the AF speed becomes the world's fastest. To reduce the overall weight and enhance portability, the lens barrel and many other exterior parts use magnesium-alloy. Also, the detachable tripod collar revolves smoothly and locks securely.

Features

  • World´s fastest AF tracking and response with EOS-3*
  • Revised internal AF algorithms optimized for the new EOS-3
  • Best image quality ever in a Canon 300mm f/2.8 lens
  • Image Stabilization adds to low-light shooting capability, and now operates with a tripod
  • New magnesium alloy construction for improved handling ease
  • Rotating and removable Magnesium alloy tripod mount
  • Fully compatible with EF 1.4x and 2x Tele-Extenders, and the EF Extension Tubes
  • New weather-resistant construction for superb durability even in the harshest environments
  • New spherical-shaped front protective element to eliminate reflections with digital SLRs

    * As of 5/99: With other EOS bodies, AF speed will be the same as
    previous EF 300/2.8L Lens.
