The Canon EF 28–300mm f/3.5–5.6L IS USM is a professional all-in-one zoom lens built for Canon EF-mount DSLR cameras. With an extremely wide zoom range from 28mm wide-angle to 300mm telephoto, it’s a great choice for photographers who want one lens to cover almost everything — from landscapes and street photography to portraits, wildlife, and events.
As part of Canon’s L-Series, this lens offers strong build quality and reliable performance. It includes Image Stabilization (IS) to reduce camera shake when shooting handheld, especially at longer focal lengths. The ring-type USM autofocus motor delivers fast, quiet, and accurate focusing, with full-time manual focus override for fine adjustments.
The lens is designed for demanding use, featuring a durable construction with weather-resistant sealing (when used with a compatible filter). Its optical design helps control distortion and colour fringing, giving clean, high-contrast images for a lens with such a large zoom range. It also has a rounded diaphragm for smooth background blur, making it useful for portraits and subject isolation.
Because of its professional build and zoom capability, it is larger and heavier than most standard zooms — but in return, you get the convenience of carrying one lens instead of multiple lenses.
