EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM
Ordered a week ago and arrived the 2 days ago, and a day before my birthday. Decided to snap some scenery pictures around my apt complex to take for a test drive, and the clarity of this lens is phenomenal!! The color contrast and focus is superb compared to the standard IS lens. I am already excited to do more with this lens in the days and weeks to come, as well as doing action shots testing focus and zoom capabilities in the near future. If you're looking to update your lenses, this is a go to lens that does great and being only about 3 lbs, you won't notice or tire easy from use. Pictures attached to show clarity of lens with color and focus is borderline HD quality.

Description
The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM is a premium L-series telephoto zoom lens offering excellent optical performance and rugged reliability for both full-frame and APS-C Canon DSLRs. Designed for versatility, it covers a wide telephoto range ideal for sports, wildlife, and portraiture. Two UD elements minimize chromatic aberrations for sharp, color-accurate results, while a Super Spectra coating enhances contrast and reduces flare. The lens features a four-stop-effective Image Stabilizer to counteract camera shake, ensuring clear images even when shooting handheld. Autofocus is quick, precise, and nearly silent thanks to a ring-type USM and internal focusing system, with full-time manual focus control available. A floating focus mechanism maintains consistent sharpness from close range (3.9 ft) to infinity. The robust build includes weather sealing and fluorine coatings on exposed elements to resist smudges and facilitate cleaning, making it an ideal choice for demanding environments.

Reviews
Priced appropriately and versatile telephoto zoom
I bought this lens in 2013 and I have not been disappointed in the quality. I damaged the front element two years ago and had it replaced and calibrated and now it is sharper than ever. Image quality is fantastic and the speed of focusing is faster than the 100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS II that I rented to test on my 7D Mk II. Two things disappoint: 1) It can't be used with one of the canon extenders and 2) no tripod collar, which would be very useful when used on a monopod for better balance. Overall the 100-400mm provides more reach and is slightly sharper. A great first L series telephoto zoom.
Has become my go-to lens for the 7D Mk II cameras
I shoot a lot of motorsports - 30 events a year on average. In the old days, a 70-200 was considered the "normal" lens for track-side work. Safety concerns have pushed us further and further away so we need the reach of a 300mm on a crop-sensor camera to get the kind of shots editors want. I have the wonderful 100-400 lens and instead of upgrading my 70-200 to get the IS technology I love, my Canon rep suggested I try this lens for reach, excellent optics and compact size. I made the decision to follow his suggestions and I'm very pleased I did. The 70-200 sits in the camera bag now for super low light assignments and I use this lens on the 7D Mk II and the 100-400 on my 5D Mk III for most race days. It's a rugged, weather sealed winner for what i do. Yes, it's a little slow but the high ISO capabilities of my Canon bodies, for practical matters, puts that concern to bed for me.
Underrated hidden gem
I bought this lens after doing a lot of research on telephoto zoom L series. Compared to the celebrated 70-200 f/4 L IS, or 70-200 f/2.8 L IS, this lens is not that popular. I wondered why! However, I got a good deal and bought it. I would never regret my decision. This is one of the sharpest lens that I have used. The zoom range is good for almost anything, wich makes it a perfect travel lens. Here are the Pros and Cons. Pros: 1. Perfect weight for handheld photography. No need for tripod. I use it for all day shooting on my 6d. The weight grows on you. 2. Excellent for portrait. The range between 100 - 150 is very sharp and you have the max f/4 limit, making creamy bokeh possible. 3. Sharpness at 300 mm. 100 crop at 300mm can beat other lenses (I compared with a 150-600mm from another maker). So if you are thinking of buying a longer lens but don't have all the cash, try this one! 4. Versatile: Takes decent landscape, excellent portrait and above expectation wildlife and nature photographs. Can't et any better. Cons: 1. Tracking moving object: Little slow in AI Servo mode - tracking is decent though. Maybe I will buy a 400 f.5.6 for that. But remember this is not supposed to be for BIF but I could take some decent BIF pics with practice. 2. Tripod Ring not included in price. See Pros. #1. I actually have it but never used it! Might be helpful if I decide to take the solar eclipse picture. Do you really need it? 3. Focusing ring placement: Some people say it's an inconvenience. I am just writing it here to reiterate - it's no big deal! The pros outweighs te cons many times over!
