Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM (As-is/Defective)

★Thank you for viewing★
This is a listing for a Canon EF100-300mm F4.5-5.6 USM (as-is).

【Description】
This is a Canon telephoto zoom lens, the EF100-300mm F4.5-5.6 USM. It can be used with Canon EOS film SLR cameras as well as EOS digital SLR cameras (an exclusive mount adapter is required for use with EOS M series and EOS R series mirrorless cameras). Because it is a USM lens, the operation is quiet and focuses smoothly.
*The reason for "as-is" is that although it works without any problems, there is a slight smudge near the middle lens element. It did not particularly affect normal shooting in sunlight, but it may have an effect under severe conditions such as backlight. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this for mental health reasons. Please understand this point and only purchase if you agree.

*For reference, I have included sample photos taken with this lens.
