The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM is the professional photographers’ workhorse telephoto zoom lens.

Using Fluorite to improve image quality, it has a rugged durable design and 4-stop Image Stabilizer. Featuring a lens element made from Canon’s unique high performance Fluorite, chromatic aberration is minimised. As well as the use of Fluorite, 5 UD elements are also used to ensure excellent image quality, high contrast and natural colour reproduction throughout the zoom range. The minimum focusing distance has been reduced to 1.2m allowing photographers to stand closer to the action.

Canon’s four-stop Image Stabilizer (IS) makes the EF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II USM ideal for shooting in low light conditions when using a tripod is not possible. The IS system allows shutter speeds up to four stops slower than normal to be used without causing image blur.

Fluorite and ultra-low dispersion (UD) lens elements
The lens features elements made from fluorite, which reduce chromatic aberration. Five UD (ultra-low dispersion) elements are used to ensure high contrast and natural colour reproduction throughout the zoom range.

Canon 70 200 2.8 L IS USM Smooth background blur
A virtually circular aperture diaphragm gives out of focus regions a softer, more uniform feel. Sharp foreground objects stand out against a smooth blurred background.

Ultrasonic focusing
A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near silence. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is reached accurately, without overshooting. Furthermore, full-time manual override is available, making it possible to adjust focus without leaving AF mode.
