General use:
A basic kit for non-specific photography should cover between 28-300mm

Portraits:
Portraits are best shot with focal lengths between 85 and 300mm depending on whether shooting mid-length or close-ups and the amount spacial compression wanted. Depth of field is the most important tool to manipulate and a fast lens will give more scope for creative treatment.

Fashion:
Fashion is difficult to define but requires focal lengths of between 28-200mm. Very often capturing movement, a fast focus ultrasonic lens is important.

Wildlife Scenic photography:
Wider, more scenic wildlife shots need anything from 70-300mm in focal length depending on how close you are the particular scene. Singling out individual animals usually requires more powerful telephoto. In telephoto, camera-shake is more problematic and stabilization is very important. Fast ultrasonic focusing is important in capturing fleeting moments.

Events and Weddings:
Events and weddings require capturing fleeting moments and fast ultrasonic motor focusing is necessary to avoid missing those. Avoiding changing lenses is preferable with just 1 or two used between 28 and 300mm. These usually involve shooting at night or in low light indoors where image stabilization is necessary to get sharp results at slower shutter speeds.

Court-based sports:
Sports played on a court allows the photographer to get close to the action and a wide angle lens with a fast aperture is necessary to capture natural light in interiors. Telephoto focal lengths up to 300mm are necessary for other shots. Ultrasonic motor is a must for fast action focusing. Stabilization helps achieve good motion blur effects when not tripod mounted.

Technologies Fluorite and UD Lenses
Fluorite, which boasts a very low dispersion of light, is capable of combating the residual aberration that standard optical glass fails to eliminate. UD (Ultra Low Dispersion) lens elements incorporate low-dispersion optical glass which minimizes distortion and chromatic aberration.

Ultrasonic Motor (USM):
Canon's Ultrasonic Motor (USM) is a lens-based motor to harness ultrasonic oscillation energy. This technology makes focusing precise, virtually noiseless and incredibly quick – some lenses focusing literally faster than the human eye. The USM starts instantaneously and stops the moment focus is achieved, with no overshooting. What's more, the USM requires minimal battery power so you can shoot for longer on a single charge.

Image Stabilizer (IS):
Canon's Image Stabilizer (IS) technology uses a lens shift-type system to detect and correct slight camera shakes. Minute gyro sensors detect lens vibrations caused by hand shake and send a signal to a microcomputer, which controls an IS lens group that compensates movement along the horizontal and vertical axis of the camera. EF lenses with IS technology enable steady shooting at up to four stops lower than is possible with conventional lenses, making them ideal for situations where the use of flash is not permitted or desired.
