Isolate the Interesting Part
The eye tends to see the whole rather than the individual parts. It also sees what’s near and not what’s far. By bringing attention to those things missed by the eye, you can create many interesting pictures. It could be the grimace of an athlete, the grill of a classic car, or a girl against a blurred background. Telephoto lenses can also compress images to give dramatic effects. You are limited only by your imagination.

TELEPHOTO ZOOM LENSES
Super-compact and light, this lens is ideal for digital SLRs – used on the Digital Rebel, it’s equivalent to an approx. 90-320mm lens. The 13-element design’s new optical coatings are optimized for digital cameras, it’s a lightweight telephoto that’s perfect for any EOS SLR. It focuses down to under
4 feet (1.2m), and its Micro USM-powered AF is faster than ever, due to new electronics within the lens.
A spectacular professional lens, combining the virtues of the legendary EF 70-200 f/2.8L with the Canon’s newest Image Stabilization technology. The IS system now offers up to a three- stop improvement in hand-held ability, responds faster than ever before, and functions on a solid tripod. Additional improvements include faster AF response and tracking speed, weather-resistant construction, and the entirely new optical system focuses even closer (to 4.6 feet/ 1.4m) than the non-IS version.

For years, the most popular professional lens in the entire Canon line-up. Superbly sharp and versatile, its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture makes it a favorite of photojournalists and low-light shooters. Four UD-glass elements contribute to its excellent performance. Full compatibility with the EF Extenders 1.4x II and 2x II extends its usefulness, and it’s also compatible with the EF Extension Tubes 12 and 25, and the 77mm Close-up Lens 500D.
A truly professional L-series telephoto zoom lens, with reduced size and weight for applications where portability is important. Superb optically, it combines a Fluorite element with two UD-glass elements for outstanding contrast and performance. Its ring-type USM is fast, silent, and permits full-time minimum focus, as well as the closest MF of any of the L-series 70-200 designs. It’s also compatible with EF Extenders 1.4x II and 2x II, and accepts an optional accessory tripod collar.
The ultimate compact telephoto zoom lens in the EF system, and a great choice for travel and other applications where portability is a priority. It’s especially well-suited for compact SLR bodies such as the EOS Rebel and Elan series, and even compact digital EOS SLRs, with a weight of only 8.8 oz. (250g). Its optical quality is assured by a five-group zooming system.
With the addition of a Micro USM for faster and even quieter autofocus, this version of the EF 75-300mm is well- suited for sports and other applications requiring fast AF. The USM version shares the compact size, close focusing range, and accessory compatibility of the non-USM lens. For many advanced amateurs, the 75-300 range is ideal as a versatile entry into telephoto photography.
