mm EF Canon Lens for both Digital and non Digital SLRs. +/- 2 years old, but only used on a few occasions. Absolute Mint Condition Reasonable offers will be entertained. Manufacturer Specs: The advanced 3-stop Image Stabilizer (IS) technology of the EF mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens makes it the ideal telephoto zoom when shooting in lowlight and at slow shutter speeds. Features: Zoom Telephoto Built-In Image Stabilizer For Digital or Film SLR Cameras Fast USM Autofocus 1 UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) Element Circular Aperture Diaphragm Accepts 58mm Filters Zoom Ring Lock Affordable high magnification The powerful yet reasonably priced EF mm f/4-5.6 IS USM will appeal to nature and sports photographers looking to achieve sharper images when shooting handheld. Focal length translates to approx. mm equivalent in 35mm film format when fitted to cameras with APS-C size sensors. Image Stabilizer The EF mm f/4-5.6 IS USM features Canon's 3-stop Image Stabilizer (IS). Ideal for handheld photography, Canon’s Image Stabilizer allows photographers to use shutter speeds up to 3-stops slower with no perceptible increase in image blur. For stabilized panning, IS Mode 2 only corrects for unwanted vertical shake by switching off IS in the horizontal direction. IS is ideal for low light conditions, fast paced scenes and for shooting from moving vehicles. IS switches off automatically when the camera is mounted on a tripod. UD lens element A UD (ultra-low dispersion) glass lens element corrects chromatic aberration to achieve high resolution and contrast throughout the zoom range without colour fringing on subject outlines. Only lead free glass is used in the lens construction. Super Spectra coatings Optimised Super Spectra lens coatings and lens element shaping suppress flare and ghosting - more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection off the image sensor. Coatings also help achieve true colour balance and sharp high contrast images. Pleasing background blur A circular barrel aperture helps to create an attractive, even background blur when isolating a subject at large apertures. Fast auto-focus The lens's micro USM motor uses ultra-sonic frequency vibrations to drive rapid auto-focus with near-silent operation. Good holding torque ensures there is no overshoot. A high speed CPU and optimised AF algorithm contribute to AF speed literally faster than the human eye.
