Evolution in Zoom Technology
Evolving from the legacy of the popular EF 300mm f/ 2.8 prime lenses, the RF 100-300mm f/ 2.8 maintains the sought-after quality and speed demanded by photographers who are accustomed to 300mm f/ 2.8 optics. In addition to these qualities, it introduces the versatility of a zoom that ranges from 100mm to 300mm.
The 100-300mm zoom design offers more versatility for tracking moving subjects, recording candid moments from a distance, and backing off from scenes a bit for a wider frame for more context. Despite switching to a zoom design, this lens retains the a bright and constant f/ 2.8 maximum aperture that excels in available lighting conditions and helps to achieve a shallow depth of field to isolate subjects against a blurred background. Wholly new optical design includes fluorite elements and ultra-low dispersion glass, plus one aspherical element, to achieve a higher degree of clarity and sharpness with virtually no distortion. Canon's Air Sphere Coating (ASC) and Super Spectra Coating (SSC) minimizes ghosting and flare to better enable working in backlit conditions or when facing strong lighting situations.
