Capture appetizing imagery 
with the 28-300 VC lens, 
which maximizes your 
hand-holding capabilities so 
you can photograph your 
repast from your seat.

Hit the beach before sunrise: The early-morning 
light and shadows will increase the sand's 
contrast and texture.

Take advantage of available light streaming in 
through your hotel window to capture relaxed 
portraits of family members.

Walking on sand is no easy feat _ but the 
28-300's VC mechanism helps you keep 
everything sharp, despite the camera shake 
created by such vigorous exercise.

Wide-angle shots create 
foreground distortion, while 
a small aperture ensures 
the plant stays in focus.

Trekking across the Pacific Coast sand dunes before sunrise can lead to amazing photo opportunities. 
But walking on sand is no easy feat, and heavy inhaling and exhaling from this early-morning exercise can 
create unwanted camera shake. The 28-300’s VC mechanism helps keep everything sharp — even when 
the ground beneath your feet isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Show off all of the majestic residents of a

A quaint seaside town as the first stop on your photographic road trip will enable you to 
fully experience the 28-300mm VC lens’s flexibility, portability, and superior image quality. 
The lens masters every environment it encounters, whether it’s a jam-packed beach, or the 
dock at a beach or the neighborhood marina. Use the lens for your early-morning sojourns 
to the seashore, where you can shoot in macro mode to show off local sand critters, or 
zoom out for shots of kids splashing in the surf or during your strolls through city streets. 
Bring the lens along for evening outings, where it will capture spectacular sunset views and 
the fireworks show with stunning clarity. The 28-300mm VC lens will prove to be the only 
lens you’ll need for your entire seaside stay.

A wide-angle shot incorporates indigenous plant life 
for context.
