Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 USM L IS (full format) - Review / Test Report

The design of a 10.7x zoom is complex so it doesn't come as a surprise that the EF 28-300mm L IS is a rather large massive being. Typical for most recent L class lenses it is build to professional standards including a sealing against dust and humidity.

One lens , you don't get the dust !!!

The optical quality is on a very high though not exceptional level. The resolution figures are generally very good without any major flaws. Vignetting, CAs and even distortions are very well under control. The build quality is exceptional though some may not like the push-pull zoom.
Pros:
  • Super-sharp images
  • Fast auto-focus

Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM review by Panmunjom

I use this lens at work with a Canon T1i, I think it works better than the old Nikon D90 & equivalent lens which was rendered damaged beyond repair after having been dropped out the door of a helicopter.
Pros:
  • Build quality
  • Also comes in black (for Japan customers only)
Cons:
  • Heavy
  • Expensive (I don't own it but I do get to use it everyday

Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM Lens Review

Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6l IS USM is a one of relatively few extreme zooms that was released by Canon back in 2004. The extreme zooms seem to be getting a resurgence in popularity lately and both OEMs as well as 3rd party lens manufacturers now have at least one such extreme zoom in their lineup.

This lens has been so much fun!

The 28-300mm has so many functions. I've had this lens for almost 2 years with no regrets. I travel throughout the Columbia Gorge and have captured amazing outdoor shots. It isn't the lightest lens but the range is so exceptional you can get away with taking the one lens.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Durable
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Quick Focus
  • Rugged
  • Sharp Focus
  • Strong Construction
