Key Features:
- Constant f/2.8 Aperture
- The f/2.8 maximum aperture provides a fast and consistent aperture throughout the zoom range, making it ideal for low-light situations and enabling shallow depth of field for beautiful background blur (bokeh).
- The wide aperture also helps maintain faster shutter speeds, which is essential when shooting fast-moving subjects or in low-light conditions.
- Image Stabilization (IS)
- The lens features a 4-stop Image Stabilization (IS) system, which compensates for camera shake, allowing you to shoot at slower shutter speeds without introducing motion blur.
- This is especially useful when shooting handheld in lower light or at longer focal lengths, ensuring sharper images in dynamic shooting conditions.
- Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for Fast Autofocus
- The Ultrasonic Motor (USM) provides fast, precise, and quiet autofocus, which is especially important in wildlife, sports, or event photography where autofocus speed and silence are crucial.
- It also allows for full-time manual focus adjustment, meaning you can fine-tune focus even when the camera is using autofocus.
- L-Series Build Quality
- As part of the L-Series lineup, the lens features weather-sealing and is constructed with high-quality optics and materials, making it durable and reliable for professional use in challenging environments.
- The lens is also dust and moisture-resistant, making it suitable for shooting outdoors in various weather conditions.
- Super UD and Fluorite Elements
- The lens includes Super UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass and a fluorite element, which help to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing.
- These optical elements contribute to the lens’s exceptional image clarity and sharpness, even at wide apertures and longer focal lengths.
- Excellent Image Quality
- The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM is renowned for its sharpness and image quality, producing high-contrast images with great detail across the entire frame, from the center to the corners.
- The lens maintains excellent performance at both wide open (f/2.8) and stopped down, making it versatile for a wide range of photographic applications.
- Telephoto Zoom Range (70-200mm)
- The 70-200mm zoom range is perfect for a wide variety of subjects, including portraiture, sports, wildlife, and events. The lens offers a versatile focal length, allowing photographers to frame subjects at varying distances and adapt to different shooting scenarios.
- The lens provides great reach for capturing distant subjects while maintaining excellent subject isolation thanks to the wide aperture.
- Nano USM (Optional on some versions)
- For some models, the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II also includes Nano USM technology, which offers a combination of fast and quiet focusing for both still photography and video applications.
- Circular Aperture
- The lens has a 9-blade circular aperture, contributing to beautiful, smooth bokeh in the background, especially when shooting wide open at f/2.8.
- Minimum Focus Distance: 1.2 meters
- The minimum focusing distance of 1.2 meters (3.9 feet) allows for close-up shots of subjects even at long focal lengths, making this lens versatile for a range of shooting
