Canon 28-300

I purchased this lens in 2004 and while having a large selection of Canon lenses this lens has become my 95% usage becoming more so as time progressed. This lens is heavy but in my many miles of hiking Yosemite and Yellostone it has paid off in excellent images. It has followed my 1DSIII, 5D to my present 5DSR and hopefully will last for many more years.

I purchased my Canon EF 28-300mm zoom about 18 months ago specifically for use when traveling. Since then I’ve taken it on 3 trips and it has performed as expected. I mount it to my Canon 5DS-R and it produces excellent results. I combine it with my Canon EF 11-24mm zoom and have a wide range (11-300mm), covered with 2 lenses.

If I had to do it again, I would have purchased this lens sooner, like when I purchased my 5D3 in November 2012. Highly recommended for those who love to travel and are looking for a one lens solution.
