I bought this lens and it takes awesome pictures on both my 6D and 90D. Under good light, I can not tell a difference in picture quality between this lens vs my 70-200 F4 L IS. and the extra reach to 300mm is very good to have.

I just purchased this lens from B&H and although it came with a little speck of dust on the inside front element, I tested the lens and it has no effect on the image, I was thinking of returning it to get another copy, but my lens is so sharp wide open from 70 to 300, I am so pleased with the...

I wish I could give the lens 5 stars, unfortunately there was a quality control issue with Canon on the EF 70-300 II IS, there is an internal metallic flake that you can see when the zoom is retracted. I will be returning this lens for a third time, all previous lens have the same issue.

"I just bought this lens yesterday and haven't been able to play with it much, but last night I took some pictures of a near full moon without a tripod. When I framed the moon in the lens I could see a lot of movement and shake since I did not support the camera.

I use this lens pretty heavily at sporting events (mostly racing practise and test sessions) and it is an excellent lens for medium range shots - eg when you're behind a boundary fence or in the stands taking pictures of the track.

The shown price is higher than the MRP.

The image stabilization is nice. You can hear it engage and disengage, but it's no louder than a shutter click. Focusing makes virtually no noise at all. I don't use the LCD on top of the lens at all, but it functions pretty nicely if you did need to use it.

The Canon EF 70–300 mm f/4–5.6 IS II USM, presented in September 2016, is an official successor of the EF 70–300 mm f/4–5.6 IS USM model, launched in 2005. The new lens's optical construction is more complex than that of its predecessor; it also features a bigger filter diameter, a better autofocus,...

Very good image quality in the frame centre; Good image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor apart from the 70 mm focal length; Slight longitudinal chromatic aberration; Low lateral chromatic aberration; Lack of any serious distortion problems; Low astigmatism; Not bothersome coma; Moderate...

Weak image quality on the edge of the frame at 70 mm; Average performance against bright light; A bit too high vignetting level on full frame

Here we have Canon's new, updated version of their moderately priced 70-300mm full frame lens. It offers improved AF, improved optical quality and a new electronic display. We coupled this to the Canon EOS 5DS R body, so let's see how the lens performs and handles.
