Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM is an EF Mount L-Series telephoto zoom lens capable of zooming with 3.9' minimum focus distance. It spans a 70-200mm focal length and f/2.8-32 Aperture Range with eight blade circular aperture promising increased speed, superior performance, and optical quality. The lens construction is composed of one fluorite and five ultra-low dispersion elements plus the Super Spectra Multi Coating resulting to reduced aberrations and sharper image. The two mode optical image stabilization has the ability to minimize camera shakes; these modes correct still images as well as the up and down movement. Fast Autofocus is driven silently by the Ultrasonic Focus Motor while the manual focus override will provide precise manual focus even when autofocus mode is on. This lens is built to withstand harsh environments thanks to its dust and moisture resistant sealing. It is compatible with APS-C and Full Frame Sensor DSLR Cameras. 

Product Features in Detail 

L-series quality
The L-series is Canon's flagship professional lens range, representing the best in precision-designed EF optics. L-series lenses combine superior performance with superlative handling, and are resistant to dust and moisture.

Fast, constant maximum aperture
Shoot hand held in low light conditions thanks to a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture, which stays constant throughout the zoom range. Such an aperture also gives a photographer control over depth of field.

Image Stabilizer
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.

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.

Accessories
The lens is supplied as standard with the ET-87 lens hood to prevent glare affecting images, as well as a removable tripod mount and soft case.
