New Canon Patent - EF 300mm f/2.8L IS Lens


Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II lens


A new patent for the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS lens has been uncovered. This may be the beginning of the Series III version of this venerable lens.

I reported recently Canon is reworking the entire line of their Super Telephoto lens with the approaching 2020 Summer Olympics Games in Tokyo in mind. The current EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II is one of the sharpest lens around and a favorite of mine for wildlife photography. You can see my equipment bag and works on MichaelDanielHo.com
