One of the best traits of the Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM is its ability to separate the photo's subject from its background, which it is able to accomplish thanks to its long focal length and wider aperture. The EF 300mm f/4L IS USM also does a very good job at controlling chromatic aberration, color, and even contrast. If searching for disadvantages one might say that it does feature some rather slight pincushion distortion, however it is so faint the average user will most likely not even notice. The EF 300mm f/4L IS USM also controls flare perfectly, making sure it will not be a problem.

Another one of the most popular characteristics of the Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM is its image stabilization. It allows the EF 300mm f/4L IS USM to be handheld and a below average shutter speed, and is perfect at compensating for the users motion. The EF 300mm f/4L IS USM is not a silent lens, but not obnoxiously loud either. It is audibly noticeable but not to a frustrating extent.
Overall the Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM is a high value lens. It is able to provide the user with a high image quality, impressive physical features, and a very reasonable price.
