| Comments | Very popular lens for those who need a telephoto yet want to travel fairly light and can't carry a really long lens. Turns into a 420/4 with a Canon 1.4x TC and a 600/5.6 with a Canon 2x TC while maintaining AF with all EOS camera bodies. The addition of image stabilization makes it possible to handhold this lens. |
