Canon EF 70-200mm F/2.8L IS III USM Lens

Canon EF 70-200mm F/2.8L IS III USM Lens

• Versatile telephoto zoom is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however, can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 112-320mm equivalent focal length range.

• Bright constant f/2.8 maximum aperture affords consistent performance throughout the zoom range and offers notable control over the depth of field for working with selective focus techniques.

• One fluorite element and five ultra-low dispersion glass elements noticeably reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity and color fidelity.

• An Air Sphere Coating (ASC) has been applied to lens elements to reduce backlit flaring and ghosting for maintained light transmission and high contrast in strong lighting conditions.

• An Optical Image Stabilizer helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to 3.5 shutter speed stops to better enable working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds. In addition to the single-shot standard IS mode, a second mode is also available that is optimized for panning.

• A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), along with an internal focusing system, is employed to deliver fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.

• The Focus Limiter switch lets you constrain the focusing to two different ranges to suit different applications: 3.9'-infinity or 8.2'-infinity.

• The rounded eight-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.

• A weather-resistant design protects the lens from dust and moisture to enable its use in inclement conditions. Additionally, fluorine coatings have also been applied to the front and rear lens elements for further protection against fingerprints and smudging.

• The removable rotating tripod collar is included and benefits working with the lens atop a tripod or monopod.

Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM III Zoom

The latest version of Canon user's favorite long-range zoom lens is this 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM III. New in this lens is the application of Canon's New Air Sphere Coating. This coating is best equipped for tackling flare and ghosting, while it is also able to combat reductions, in contrast, leading to images that are notable for their clarity and crispness.

Perhaps the most significant draw-card of this lens is its large f2.8 maximum aperture, which is constant throughout the zoom range. This large aperture lets in plenty of light, so you can shoot at faster shutter speeds in order to trap fast-moving subjects in their tracks. You can also experiment with shallow depths of field, rendering your model tack-sharp and the background of your image into a dreamlike, featureless blur.

The zoom range itself is as impressive as it ever was, sure to be a fixture on the front of many cameras, from shooters of weddings and travel to sports and wildlife enthusiasts. Keeping you up to speed with your chosen subject, no matter what that may be, is a fast USM AF motor and the focus limiter switch, which can be adjusted accordingly, whether your focal point is near or far to cut down on any time wasted by hunting focus.
