Detta är ett 4x telezoomobjektiv i L-serien med extra hög prestationsförmåga. Syntetisk fluorit i grupp 1 och UD-glas i grupp 2 arbetar med lågt brytningsindex och låg färgspridning för hög korrektion av kromatisk aberration och andra aberrationer. Upplösningsförmågan är hög med alla brännvidder och bilderna har hög skärpa. Med 300 mm brännvidd är den maximala förstoringen 0,25x.
