Professional Full-Frame All-in-One Superzoom for Canon EF Mount – Expansive 11x Zoom Range (28-300mm Full-Frame / 44.8-480mm APS-C Equivalent), 3-Stop Optical Image Stabilizer (IS), Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) with Full-Time Manual Override, Push-Pull Zoom Mechanism with Smooth-Tight Adjustment Ring, Advanced L-Series Optics (3 UD & 2 Aspherical Elements), Super Spectra Coating (SSC), Weather-Sealed Construction, Detachable Rotating Tripod Collar Foot, Circular 8-Blade Diaphragm, Includes Front & Rear Lens Caps, Dedicated Lens Hood & Tripod Collar (Excellent Condition)

The Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM is a heavy-duty, professional-grade all-in-one superzoom lens engineered for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs (also fully compatible with APS-C bodies, providing a 44.8-480mm equivalent range, as well as EOS R mirrorless systems via EF-EOS R mount adapters). Covering nearly an 11x focal range from true 28mm wide-angle landscapes to 300mm telephoto compression, it stands as the definitive single-lens workhorse solution for photojournalism, travel expeditions, documentary filmmaking, emergency response documentation, and outdoor event coverage where rapid framing changes are required without swapping lenses.

The complex optical formulation features 22 elements in 16 groups, utilizing three Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) glass elements alongside two precision aspherical elements to control chromatic aberrations, spherical distortion, and color fringing throughout the entire zoom range. Canon’s Super Spectra Coating (SSC) suppresses internal reflections, flare, and ghosting to maintain rich contrast and color accuracy in challenging backlit environments. Handheld versatility is supported by an integrated optical Image Stabilizer (IS) offering up to 3 stops of shake correction with dual stabilization modes (Mode 1 for stationary subjects and Mode 2 for panning). Autofocus is powered by a high-torque ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) featuring an internal focusing mechanism, dual-range focus limiter switch, and seamless full-time manual focus override. Built to Canon L-series standards, the lens features a push-pull zoom design with an adjustable zoom tension ring, comprehensive dust- and moisture-resistant weather sealing, and a detachable rotating tripod collar.

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Included Components: COMPLETE LENS SYSTEM. Supplied with the Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM lens, Canon 77mm front snap-on lens cap, Canon EF-mount rear bayonet dust cap, authentic Canon dedicated lens hood (EW-83G), and authentic Canon detachable rotating tripod collar foot.

Exterior & Physical Status: EXCELLENT CONDITION. The iconic off-white L-series barrel, textured rubber focus ring, push-pull zoom grip sleeve, zoom tension ring (Smooth/Tight), barrel switch array, tripod collar assembly, and metal EF-mount bayonet show minimal signs of light handling.

Optical & Electronic Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL. Optical glass elements are clean and free of scratches, haze, or fungus; the push-pull zoom mechanism glides cleanly and locks tension properly; ring-type USM autofocus locks swiftly, silently, and accurately; the 3-stop Image Stabilizer engages smoothly in both Mode 1 and Mode 2; the electronic 8-blade diaphragm stops down reliably across all apertures.

KEY FEATURES & PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Massive 28-300mm 11x Zoom Range: Bridges wide-angle vistas, standard perspectives, and distant telephoto reach in a single professional optic.

3-Stop Optical Image Stabilizer (IS): Dual-mode stabilization compensates for up to 3 shutter speed stops for sharp handheld shooting in low light and at 300mm.

Professional L-Series Optical Formula: 3 UD elements and 2 aspherical elements ensure high resolving power, contrast, and edge-to-edge sharpness.

Super Spectra Coating (SSC): Suppresses flare and ghosting while ensuring neutral color balance and deep contrast in harsh lighting.

Ring-Type USM Autofocus: Delivers high-speed, whisper-quiet AF performance paired with instantaneous full-time manual focus override.

Push-Pull Zoom with Tension Ring: Allows rapid focal length adjustments with a customizable Smooth-Tight ring to set resistance or lock zoom position.

Dual-Range Focus Limiter: Restricts focusing range (Full: 2.3′ to Infinity / 8.2′ to Infinity) for faster autofocus acquisition in action scenarios.

Detachable Rotating Tripod Collar: Enables fast transitions between horizontal and vertical orientations on tripods and monopods.

Rugged Weather-Sealed Chassis: Extensive rubber sealing at all joints and switches protects internal optics from dust, moisture, and harsh field conditions.
