TELEPHOTO ZOOM LENSES
EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L USM
A unique professional L-series lens, covering an amazing 10x zoom range from wide-angle to super-telephoto. It’s a magnificent choice for travel photography and other outdoor applications. The zoom control has a separate ring to adjust or lock the zooming action, enhancing its already excellent handling. The 21- element optical formula includes two UD-glass elements, and at its 135mm zoom setting, close-focusing to two feet (0.6m) is possible.

The most affordable of Canon’s long telephoto zooms, this lens is excellent for subjects from portraits to wildlife and nature. It shares the same 13-element optical system as the 75-300mm USM lens, but uses a DC motor for autofocus. Close-focusing down to 4.9 feet (1.5m) allows filling the frame (at 300mm) with a subject the size of a dollar bill, and it’s compatible with the Canon 58mm Close-up lens 500D for even more spectacular shots of small objects.
A significant lens in the history of Canon optics, this was the first SLR lens in the world to offer Image Stabilization — providing up to two stops of improvement in hand-held capability at slow shutter speeds. Its 15-element optical formula is unique, but it offers capabilities similar to Canon’s 75-300 versions without IS. Image Stabilization gives this lens amazing real-world sharpness in many situations, and is especially advantageous when combined with lightweight camera bodies.
This affordable and lightweight zoom differs from the 75-300mm models with its higher-performance ring-type Ultrasonic focusing motor and superior AF speed. It also uses rear group focusing, so the front elements never rotate during focusing, and adds full- time manual focusing capability. It’s excellent not just for outdoor sports, but any subjects requiring the versatility of a telephoto zoom.
A truly professional L-series telephoto zoom lens with Image Stabilization, making hand-holding practical even at its 400mm focal length. Both a Fluorite and a Super UD-glass element ensure outstanding contrast and sharpness, and it accepts the EF Extenders 1.4x II and 2x II. A ring-type USM makes AF fast and silent down to 5.9 feet (1.8m), and of course it offers full-time manual focus override. This durable L-series lens is regarded by many pros as one of the world’s finest telephoto zooms for hand-held outdoor use.
