Frequently Asked Questions
What does "renewed" mean for this lens?
A renewed lens has been inspected, tested, and restored to working condition by a qualified refurbisher. It may show minor cosmetic wear but is expected to function like new.
Does this lens work on both full-frame and APS-C Canon cameras?
Yes, the Canon EF mount is compatible with both full-frame and APS-C Canon EOS SLR bodies. On APS-C cameras, the effective focal range becomes approximately 112–480mm.
How effective is the image stabilization on this lens?
The built-in IS system compensates for camera shake, allowing you to shoot handheld at slower shutter speeds than would otherwise produce blur — particularly useful at the longer end of the zoom range.
What is the minimum focusing distance?
The lens can focus on subjects as close as 4.92 feet (1.5 meters), which limits its usefulness for close-up or macro work.
What filter size does this lens use?
It accepts 58mm front-threaded filters.
