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

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

Price (MSRP): $1,650.00
TYPE: Zoom Lens - Telephoto


The pinnacle in Canon's constant-aperture telephoto zoom lenses, the 70-200mm f/2.8L "IS" lens is an incredible optic with robust design and tack-sharp results. Second-generation Image Stabilization responds in as little as 0.5 seconds, while providing stabilization that is three times as hand-holdable as a normal lens. IS automatically deactivates when on a tripod to conserve battery power. An entirely new optical formula produces images that are superior to even its highly regarded predecessor, the 70-200mm f/2.8L, despite having more reflective surfaces within the lens.
