Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Improving upon one of the most celebrated lenses in the Canon EF line is no easy feat, but Canon has done just that. The all-new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM increases the speed, performance and optical quality of the EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM while maintaining all of the characteristics that have made it a legend for professionals and advanced amateurs alike.

The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM features one fluorite and five UD elements for increased optical quality and reduced chromatic aberration. It has a minimum focusing distance of 1.2m/3.9 ft. at all zoom settings, which is useful for photographers in smaller spaces trying to get closer to a subject. It features a next-generation Optical Image Stabilizer, providing up to 4 stops of correction at all focal lengths.

And as with all L-series lenses, the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM is dust- and moisture-resistant and designed for use in the challenging environments typical of rigorous professional use.

Product Description

The EF 70 - 200 mm 01:04 L USM is a Tele zoom shot with high performance, which is suitable for a multiple tasks. Its compactness and its small weight make it the preferential travel companion.
High speed Tele zoom shot of the L-row, which connects compactness and small weight with largest Aperture 01:04. Interior focusing and a Ring-USM permitted fast and quiet automatic focusing. The front part remains rigid during the focusing, which facilitates the use of pole filters.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want the best..., 15 Jan 2007
You simply won't better this mid-range zoom from Canon. Yes, it's an L series pro lens, but even for this superb level of engineering, image quality is stunningly sharp throughout the full focal range, and build quality is near enough bomb proof. For candid portrait work, the lens is simply in a class of it's own. I find this, and my 24-70mm f/2.8L USM are the two lenses that live on my EOS 5D for 95% of the time. It carries a typical Canon price tag, but really is worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, it's like cheating at photography!, 5 Feb 2008
By Helen Bishop "Chocolate Wristwatch" (Fife UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I cannot get over the useability of this lens. I have been a photographer for over 21 years and this a revelation. I have used Hasselblads. Nikon hi end 35mm and digital and this lens combined with a Canon eos 10d 20d 30 5d etc is a dream to use. It is fast, accurate and silent, magic! It flatters the most average photographer. I borrowed it for a weekend and did not want to give it back. Needless to say, I am now saving up for one. I have to use Nikons at work, but lenses like this are worth changing systems for!

5.0 out of 5 stars Canon Blows Away The Opposition!, 29 Dec 2008
By S. J. Cross (Lancashire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fantastic photography lens! This Canon lens has a feel of unrivalled quality. Its solid, and workman like construction is matched by it's incredible image quality. However, being built like a tank lends itself to the issue of excessive weight and like an over indulged festive reveller it might possibly benefit from the loss of a few pounds. Holding a camera with this lens attached can lead to a strenuous shoot and for some quite possibly some shaky shots. Nonetheless, do not despair its image stabiliser more than makes up for such weight issues as it really works incredibly well allowing hand held shutter speeds of 1/80, no problem. The wide aperture of f2.8 is fab and throws the background out of focus isolating it from the importance of the subject. I would unreservedly recommend this lens to wedding and portrait photographers as it further distinguishes your work from that of the public. Shoot away, its what a canon was made for!
