This lens is in a new condition it has only been used twice and has had a UV filter when it left the shop. It is an outstanding lens for the price and I am only selling it because I rarely use it as I am a wedding photographer and only use wide angle lenses.
A must have lens for semi-pros, or serious amateurs. This standard telephoto zoom is made with the highest lens quality available from Canon featuring fluorite lens material and an ultrasonic motor for lightning quick focussing.
If you’re using an APS-C size camera sensor, ie not an EOS1 series camera, you’ll have an effective 35mm equivalent focal range of 112-320mm. Also, a circular polarising filter can be attached and used without difficulty because the front lens element does not rotate during focussing.
Technologies
‘L’ is for FLUORITE
Canon’s fluorite lenses are top of the range, with a lower dispersion value than normal optical glass for sharper images with reduced aberration for recording sharper focus and better colour rendition.
USM is for Ultrasonic motor
Instead of a motor, ultrasonic vibrations power the lens, making focusing precise, virtually noiseless and incredibly quick – some lenses focusing literally faster than the human eye. The USM starts instantaneously and stops the moment focus is achieved, with no overshooting. What's more, the USM requires minimal battery power so you can shoot for longer on a single charge.
