Canon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM AF Reviewed

Canon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM AF Reviewed

This versatile lens not only produces great images but it lightweight and small in size as well, according to PopPhoto.com.

If you get a look at this lens you’ll be shocked at its size. You’ll probably be able to put it in your travel kit because it’s so short, although it will cost you.

One of only two lenses that contains both refractive and diffractive glass elements, this image-stabilized tele zoom is dramatically more compact — and expensive ($1,143, street) — than its refractive-only Canon ($549, street) or Nikon ($479, street) counterparts. Unlike more common refractive optics, diffractive optical design is based on how light rays bend when forced to move around (not through) an obstruction — in this case, a pattern of molded, sawtooth, Fresnel-like, concentric circles. A full-frame lens, it scales up to a 105-450mm on Canon EOS Digital Rebel models.

According to PopPhoto.com, you’re going to be satisfied with this lens.
