Professional Photography Made Easy

The Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS III USM is an ideal choice for professional photographers. It offers super-sharp optics and a bright f/2.8 aperture throughout the entire focal range. The ring ultrasonic autofocus motor (USM) provides ultra-fast and accurate AF performance, and the IS system delivers optical image stabilisation for better handheld shooting. Plus, the lens uses a new Air Sphere Coating (ASC) to control flare, ghosting and ensure contrast is maintained across the entire frame.

70-200mm Medium Telephoto Focal Range

With a highly versatile focal range of 70-200mm the lens is ideal for a wide range of photographic styles. It can be used for everything from sports and nature photography to portraits, videography and everything in between.

Bright Constant f/2.8 Aperture

Designed to capture as much light as possible, the fast aperture of f/2.8 is available across the entire zoom range of the lens, allowing the use of fast shutter speeds as well as delivering excellent low-light performance for event and wedding work.

Optical Image Stabilisation

The lens features an advanced 4-stop optical stabilisation system that makes handheld shooting more stable. This means that not only is video footage steadier but slower shutter speeds can be used in darker conditions to capture more light.

Fast and Reliable Ultrasonic Autofocus Motor

Using Canon's Ultrasonic technology, the autofocus motor on the 70-200mm is a ring type that combines super-quick AF performance with an ultra-quiet operation. The lens offers full-time manual focus override as well as an easy to access AF/MF switch.

Refined Optical Construction

With a sophisticated optical design that consists of 23 elements arranged in 19 groups the lens delivers consistently sharp image quality across the entire frame. Aberrations and other optical effects are controlled with special elements to ensure the best optical performance is possible in any light condition.

Close Focus Distance of 1.2m

Even though the lens boasts a telephoto focal range it is still able to focus as close as 1.2m, making it an incredibly versatile lens to add to your kit. The lens also features focal limiting options that allow you to limit the minimal focus distance at 1.2 or 2.5m depending on how far away your subject is, this ensure AF performance is faster and more accurate.

Air Sphere Lens Coating (ASC)

The mark III version of Canon's 70-200 lens has a cutting-edge Air Sphere Coating (ASC) that is designed to reduce ghosting and keep contrast under control so you can shoot with confidence no matter the lighting conditions.

Weather Resistant Build

The Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS III USM lens comes with a hood to control flare as well as a tripod collar that allows you to mount the lens directly to a tripod above the centre of gravity for better balance.
