The Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM also comes equipped with an easy to use zoom ring and a Full Time Manual feature. The EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM combines a minimum focusing distance with high focal lengths to produce a lens that offers reasonable quality for an acceptable price.

Overall, the Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM utilizes many tools that successful lenses feature. It uses Ring USM focusing, yet the manual focus ring is rather small and slightly unstable. The manual focusing device is slightly inconvenient, but the EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM features an auto focus system that is helpful and useful for the photographer. While feeling substantial in the hands, at 1.2 pounds the EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM feels strong and secure while being used. Canon understands how important that feeling of security is when dealing with expensive objects, and while the extra weight may be considered inconvenient by some, it certainly increases peace of mind amongst users.
