Product Description
Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM Z Lens – Professional Telephoto Zoom for Videos and Stills
The Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM is a top-tier telephoto zoom lens, crafted for hybrid shooters and professionals looking for versatile, high-performance equipment. Designed as a counterpart to the popular RF 24-105mm, this lens brings the ideal blend of clarity, reach, and seamless operation to elevate your photography and videography. With its 70-200mm focal length, it offers ample reach while remaining compact and maneuverable, making it an excellent choice for travel, portrait, sports, and wildlife shooting.
Enhanced Reach and Stability
With its wide focal range of 70-200mm and the option to extend its capabilities using Canon’s RF 1.4x and RF 2x extenders, this lens empowers you to capture sharp, detailed images even from a distance. The RF 70-200mm boasts a constant f/2.8 aperture, allowing you to create striking depth-of-field effects and maintain exceptional low-light performance throughout the zoom range. Paired with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer (5.5-stops) and additional in-body image stabilization (IBIS) on compatible cameras, you’ll achieve rock-solid images and video even in challenging conditions.
Precision Optics and Crystal Clear Imagery
To ensure the highest image quality, the RF 70-200mm incorporates premium elements including two Super UD lenses, a UD lens, and three aspherical lenses. These elements are specifically designed to reduce aberrations, ghosting, and flare while enhancing contrast and sharpness. Super Spectra and ASC coatings further protect against reflections and glare, and a durable fluorine coating safeguards the front element from dust and smudges. This advanced optical design ensures that every shot is packed with sharp details and vivid colors.
Fast, Quiet, and Intuitive Control for Filmmakers
Engineered with professional filmmakers in mind, the RF 70-200mm includes a dedicated Iris Ring for seamless aperture adjustments and an 11-blade circular aperture to produce beautifully rounded bokeh. With 32 steps of smooth control between stops, movie mode operation is silent and fluid. Autofocus is equally refined, thanks to Canon’s Dual Nano USM motor for fast, quiet, and accurate focusing, supported by Electronic Parfocal Performance for stable focus while zooming and suppression of focus breathing for stable, sharp footage.
Remote and Power Zoom Capabilities
For added control and versatility, Canon offers optional Power Zoom Adapters like the PZ-E2 and PZ-E2B, which enable smooth zoom transitions, whether manually or remotely via Canon’s Camera Connect, EOS Utility applications, or Browser Remote function. Using Canon’s XC Protocol with compatible cameras, these adapters allow for effortless zoom adjustments even over IP, and the PZ-E2B’s advanced 20-pin interface supports Zoom/Focus commands for a truly professional setup.
