A superior performance, ultra-compact telephoto zoom lens with Canon's Image Stabilization. These Diffractive Optics elements are combined to reduce size and boost image quality. AF is super-fast and silent with a ring-type USM, and it focuses down to 4.6 feet – without rotating the front element. A new zoom lock button keeps the lens safe and secure when not in use or used at the wide angle.

• Uses Canon's exclusive Diffractive Optics technology, with three diffractive surfaces to reduce overall lens size and at the same time improve optical quality

• Image Stabilization allows shooting at speeds up to three stops slower than otherwise possible

• Aluminum construction of major barrel components insures a smooth solid lens

• Includes Case LP-1116 and Hood ET-65B
