CANON 300MM IS II EF

I had this lens for a weekend wildlife shoot and the f/2.8 aperture was a lifesaver in low light at dawn. The image stabilization made handheld shots sharp even at 300mm.

Rented this lens for a weekend shoot and the image stabilization was rock-solid even at 1/30th of a second handheld. The f/2.8 aperture let me keep shooting well into dusk without any noise issues.

The f/2.8 aperture worked perfectly for shooting indoor sports; even in dim gym lighting the autofocus was incredibly fast and quiet. Having the full f/2.8 to f/32 range gave me flexibility for both action shots and some creative background blur.
