Be agile and flexible and always capture the perfect image. With its practical focal length range of 70-200mm, the constant speed of 1:4, the quality of the Canon L series and a 5-stop image stabiliser, this compact telephoto zoom lens delivers impressive results in any weather.
The lens is ideal for travelling, sports and wildlife photography thanks to its compact size and light weight. It offers professional functions in a compact format and does not take up much space in your equipment bag.
In addition to the ASC coating (Air Sphere Coating), the lens has 4 UD lenses to correct aberrations and a 9-blade iris diaphragm which, together with the constant speed of 1:4, enables an attractive bokeh - even at the close focusing distance of approx. 0.6 metres.
