What this lens is good for
Portraits and events
An 80-300mm full-frame equivalent at constant f/2.8, weather sealed and sharp wide open, ideal for portraits, events, and sports where you want reach with a bright aperture and strong subject separation. A professional telephoto workhorse.
Wildlife and reach
The 300mm equivalent reach handles closer wildlife and action, and the lens accepts the MC-14 and MC-20 teleconverters to extend it further to 420mm or 600mm equivalent for more distant subjects. It is heavy at 880g and has no built-in stabilisation, so it pairs best with a stabilised body. Full guide →
