Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM - L-series telephoto zoom with excellent performance
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM is a professional telephoto zoom lens characterized by its compact design, consistently high optical performance and legendary L-series build quality. It is aimed at demanding photographers looking for a lightweight and reliable telephoto zoom for travel, nature, sports or portraits
. Thanks to the continuous speed of f/4, the exposure remains constant when Zooming, which is particularly helpful when working manually or in AV/TV modes. The optical design includes fluorite and UD (Ultra Low Dispersion) lenses, which minimize chromatic aberration and ensure excellent sharpness and high contrast - even at open aperture
. A special highlight is the integrated image stabilizer (IS) of the first generation, which compensates for up to 4 exposure stops. This enables sharp shots to be taken without a tripod, even at longer focal lengths and in low light. The fast and quiet ultrasonic motor (USM) ensures precise focusing - even in dynamic situations.
The weatherproof housing is dust and splash-proof, making it ideal for outdoor use. Despite the high-quality metal construction, the lens remains pleasantly light with a weight of only approx. 760 g.
