EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM overview

The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM is a 70–300mm f/4–5.6 zoom for full-frame cameras on Canon EF / EF-S, announced by Canon in September 2016. 23 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits wildlife and sport as well as travel. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust as well as low light without a tripod.

No store we track in Singapore lists it today. It is listed in the United States and Australia.

Worth comparing it with the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM and Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD.
