300 mm Lenses
A lightweight telephoto zoom, Canon 300 mm lenses are ideal for photographing sports, portraiture and wildlife. Capturing distant subjects in sharp detail with elegant background blur, a Canon lens with a 300 mm focal length will be able to fill the frame with a postcard that’s 1.5 meters away.
