From the manufacturer
EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM
Close in on the action with the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM telephoto zoom lens. With a wide zoom range and fast, near-silent autofocus, it can be ideal for anyone looking to capture distant subjects. Equipped with NANO USM technology it quickly focuses so you're able to get the exact moment you want, as it happens. This technology also helps provide ultra-quiet operation while video recording to help ensure the only audio you hear is what you intended to keep.
While you're setting up that ideal shot, the new Lens Information Display provides a convenient way to check focal length, focus distance or depth of field with just a quick glance. If you find yourself without a tripod and unable to keep the camera perfectly steady, built-in Image Stabilization will help keep your images as clear as possible despite camera movement.
Inside, the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM has an optimally-placed UD lens element which helps produce high-contrast and high-detail images while reducing chromatic aberrations. Combining a wide zoom range with fast autofocus and high-quality optics, the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM is perfect for APS-C camera and full-frame camera photographers, or anyone looking to expand their lens options with a fast and powerful telephoto zoom lens.

High-speed autofocus
High-speed autofocus for shooting stills and smooth, near-silent autofocus when shooting video are achieved by incorporating NANO USM technology.
The EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM's NANO USM technology delivers quick, near-silent autofocus whether you're capturing an athlete jumping for a ball or recording wildlife in their natural habitat. For still images, it provides high-speed autofocus to help ensure you get the shot you want. When recording videos, the near-silent operation keeps unwanted noise out of your videos. For additional artistic control, manual focus is also possible even when the lens is set for autofocus. This means that when recording a video, for example, you can slowly pull in or out of focus for a dramatic effect.
Lens Information Display
New Lens Information Display shows focusing distance, focal length and shake amount.
The EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM features a new integral Lens Information Display for fast access to a wide variety of lens information. This lets you see the information you need at a glance, and then get right back to taking photos. The focusing distance display mode provides the distance the lens is focusing and an estimate of the depth of field, while the focal length display mode shows the 35mm-equivalent focal length. In shake amount display mode, the Lens Information Display gives an estimate of how much the lens and the camera are moving. To aid viewing in different lighting conditions, both black text on a light background or light text on a black background are selectable.
One UD Lens
One UD Lens helps reduce chromatic aberration and delivers outstanding high-resolution and high-contrast results.
With an all-new design, the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM features 12 groups with 17 total elements, including an optimally positioned UD lens. UD, or Ultra Low Dispersion, helps correct chromatic aberrations (colored halos around objects) while reducing color blurring and keeping overall detail high. This helps the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM produce sharp, high-contrast, richly colorful images throughout its zoom range.
Image Stabilizer effect at up to 4* stops of shake correction helps capture sharp images.
9 blade circulate aperture
Full-time manual focus
- Circular aperture (9 blades) helps deliver beautiful, soft backgrounds.
- Full-time manual focus allows manual focus adjustment while in AF Mode.
Image Stabilizer
For consistently sharp results, the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM features an improved Image Stabilizer system that provides significantly enhanced shake reduction for up to 4 stops* of shutter speeds. This means more reliable handheld performance and clearer detail in low-light situations or at lower ISOs. Because of its enhanced stabilization, the EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM can also help minimize the need for a tripod.
* Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards. Testing performed using the EOS-1D X digital SLR camera at a focal length of 300mm.

And the price! OMG. What a bargain. I replaced my trusty 70 to 200mm f4.0 zoom in my camera bag with this bad boy. Now, where are those humming birds that I have been wanting to shoot?
As others have mentioned, this is not an "L" caliber lens from Canon ($1350.00) but a less expensive zoom with a more manageable weight. The new LCD information window is not useful to me as focal length is already printed less than an inch away on the lens body and depth of field may be better determined with the "preview" button or by looking at a test shot. I have not tested the focal responsiveness of the new nano focus feature but I will assume it is on a par with my 18-135 lens with the same engineering. Nano focus is used for continual fast auto focus, especially while shooting video. For stills, the auto focus is fast and responsive. My tests so far have been on my full frame Canon 5D Mk IV and even the corners appear sharp. See the red hibiscus image where the yellow stamin in the corner is sharp.
My 300mm f4 L series prime lens is slightly sharper with more contrast but it weighs more, can't zoom and costs significantly more. This zoom is a fine vacation lens where the weight reduction is greatly appreciated. The IS (rated at 4 stops) means the loss of light from a 5.6 lens can be somewhat compensated with a slower shutter speed (with a stable subject). The lens bokeh (out of focus background blur) is pleasant and useful to isolate the subject (see the image of the dove).
All of the attached sample images were hand held. I will further test the lens on a crop sensor Canon 80D and will report any changes here. On a crop sensor camera, this lens becomes a 112mm to 480mm zoom.

2-Não é uma lente clara, mas também não é uma lente muito escura, não tenho muito o que reclamar quanto a nitidez e configuração da abertura e nem com o alcance do zoom, basta você saber o que está fazendo e não irá se decepcionar com esse equipo
Ótimo padrão de cores
3-Foco rápido:Consigo fotografar aves em voo, foco dela é excelente para isso, faço isso através do viewfider colocando um um único ponto de foco no centro
4-Base de metal
5-Estou impressionado com a qualidade das imagens que faço com essa lente juntamente com minha sl3, e o alcance de 300mm por mais que seja o mínimo indicado, até agora tem me atendido muito bem
Contra:1-Embora com o preço um pouco mais acessível daria para ser um pouco menos cara
2-Foco embora seja bem rápido ele se perde muito rápido do alvo também, dai toda hora tem que ficar caçando onde focar, não sei se isso é normal, mas nada que impeça de fazer boas fotos, pois o foco volta ao alvo rapidamente também, mas achei pertinente pontuar isso
3-Se cropar a imagem demais obviamente ela vai perder qualidade
Observações: bem mais pesada que a lente do kit, porém nada que impeça o manuseio da mesma, dá para carregar tranquilamente na minha bolsa,sem que me sobrecarregue.
Dúvida comum: Para quem ainda está na dúvida entre qual lente ou qual superzoom comprar ai vai minha resposta: a lente 75-300mm está fora de cogitação pelo fato de não ter estabilização de imagem, o que é indispensável para uma lente tele,em uma lente comum a estabilização não faz tanta falta, já em uma lente tele a estabilidade realmente é imprescindível, do contrária você teria dificuldade em estabilizar o foco no seu assunto principal além de borrar a imagem, algumas pessoas a indicam com o uso de um tripé, já eu particularmente não indico até porque para quem fotografa aves ou vida selvagem sabe que qualquer segundo é crucial entre registrar uma espécie diferente ou perda-la e se eu fosse fazer o uso do tripé, com toda certeza tomaria meu tempo e ainda tiraria a mobilidade que eu teria com o equipamento na mão, eu utilizo o tripé somente para astrofotografia, retratos e paisagens, pois meu objeto principal nesses casos estão parados me permintindo me posicionar adequamente, procurar o melhor ângulo,etc, então se o seu foco em ter uma lente tele não for aves e nem vida selvagem, a 75-300mm poderá te suprir, já para quem tem o foco em vida selvagem e aves eu indico ou a 55-250 ou a 70-300 ou a 150-600, a 55-250mm é uma boa pedida, porém te dá uma limitação por conta do "curto alcance", pois o índicado para observações de aves por exemplo é a partir dos 300mm, mesmo em um corpo cropado, 300mm ainda não é o ideal, mas já dá para brincar tranquilamente, a 150-600mm também é uma boa pedida, porém eu achei uma lente muito escura e eu não sou fã de lentes escuras, por isso para mim a melhor opção foi a 70-300, mas também vale lembrar que ela também não é uma lente muito clara, mas é mais clara que a lente fo kit por exemplo, pois apesar de ter a mesma abertura o alcance dela é maior, pois a do kit quando está sendo usada a 55mm a sua abertura mínima fica em f-5.6 enquanto nessa lente quando usada em 70mm fica em f-4.0; sobre as lentes da série L eu não levei em consideração por dois fatores: utilizo a fotografia como um hobby, ou seja, não tenho retorno financeiro com isso, não justificando gastar rios de dinheiro com equipamentos mais caros e o segundo fator é que a qualidade das imagens são semelhantes e oq muda é a qualidade na hora do crop entre alguns outros pequenos detalhes dos quais para mim não são tão importantes e em relação as superzooms tem várias câmeras interessantes no mercado, das que ainda tem no mercado vendido como novo atualmente eu analisaria a hx400,p1000,p950 e a sx70, dando preferência as duas últimas citadas. E entre pagar o preço de uma superzoom atualmente e uma lente tele, sem dúvidas eu escolheria a tele, pois a qualidade das fotos são melhores , vale também ressaltar que se o seu foco for apenas o zoom e a qualidade das imagens da superzoom já suprirem suas necessidades opte pelo zoom, mas se seu foco principal for a qualidade, opte pela lente, caso você ainda não tenha uma câmera leve em consideração o preço da lente mais o preço do corpo. Mais tarde caso eu lembre, voltarei aqui com algumas fotos amostrando as distâncias focais para vocês terem uma noção da distância e da qualidade e quanto a qualidade de imagem das câmeras semi profissionais ou superzooms embora seja inferior a qualidade das dsrl ou câmeras profissionais,elas não ficam muito atrás, tenho amigos fotógrafos que fazem fotos com a sx60 por exemplo que se você ver você irá pensar que foi feita por uma câmera profissional, eu também já tive uma hx300 e a qualidade era incrível, claro que minha sl3 é ainda melhor que ambas, mas ai não tem comparação, pois a sl3 é profissional e ainda tem mais mp(câmeras profissionais dão mais nítidez devido a construção de suas lentes).Outro ponto a ser levar em consideração é a resistência, nesse quesito dependendo das superzoom como as hx e sx por exemplo, elas ganham em disparada das câmeras dsrl's, mas isso não quer dizer que as dsrl's não sejam resistentes, porém exigem mais cuidado, como por exemplo na hora da armazenagem e também deve evita deixar cair. Vale lembrar também que tanto as profissionais como as semi em sua grande maioria não são seladas contra intempéries, ou seja, não as deixe pegar sereno, chuva, poeira ou algo do tipo
Conclusão: Não me arrependo da aquisição
Conclusão final: citei os principais pontos a serem analisados para que você possa tomar uma decisão informada.
Observação final: caso queiram fazer algumas comparações de imagens é só pesquisar brendo esteves no wikiaves ou seguir meu insta
Espero ter ajudado alguém.
