Product details

This robust 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens from the Canon L Series is particularly popular among professional photographers. It delivers top-notch performance in strong ambient light and is optimized to excel even in the most challenging lighting conditions. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8, it allows for precise control over depth of field and, combined with the optical 3.5-stop image stabilizer, facilitates low-light shooting by compensating for camera shake. The imaging performance is excellent, and the remarkable sharpness from the center to the edges makes it an ideal choice for EOS cameras with the highest resolution.

The 70-200mm focal length range is so versatile that this lens can be used in nearly every area of photography. Even in low light, outstanding handheld shots are possible. The high aperture of f/2.8 allows twice as much light to hit the sensor compared to a f/4 lens, and the 3.5-stop image stabilizer compensates for unwanted camera shake.

The lens offers convincing image quality even with EOS cameras of the highest resolution. The high-quality precision optics ensure exceptional resolution, and improved coatings suppress stray light and lens reflections. Thanks to the excellent control over depth of field, a subject can be sharply highlighted against a pleasing background blur.

Fast-moving subjects can be tracked precisely thanks to the ring-type USM autofocus system. Manual focus adjustment is always possible. The robust construction of the L Series is optimized for professional use, and special seals protect against dust and splashes.

Die dritte Objektivgeneration ist teuer, aber auch extrem gut. Alternativ gibt es eine f/4-Version.
