Complete the RF F2.8 lens trinity with the addition of the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens. Designed to complement the EOS R system, this impressive L-series lens offers a telephoto zoom focal length that helps you get closer to faraway subjects. As Canon’s lightest and shortest 70-200mm f/2.8 lens ever, the lens is engineered to make traveling more comfortable, offering a compact and portable design that’s easy to pack and carry wherever you go. Coupled with a large f/2.8 maximum aperture for sharp, bright images and videos, even in low-light settings, Canon’s Nano USM technology for fast and virtually silent AF and up to 5 stops of shake correction, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM will quickly become a favorite among portrait, wedding and sports photographers.
High Image Quality and Bright Aperture
Featuring an incredibly bright zoom with an f/2.8 maximum aperture – that stays constant throughout the zoom – 17 elements in 13 groups and a 9-blade aperture system, The RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM is engineered to deliver sharp images with beautiful background blur.
Compact and Lightweight
Weighing nearly 1 pound lighter than its EF-series predecessor, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM is Canon's shortest and lightest 70-200mm f/2.8 lens ever. Ideal for portrait, wildlife, sports photography and more, this is an essential lens you will want to have in your bag.
O.I.S. with Up to 5 Stops of Shake Correction
The RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is designed to work in conjunction with an EOS R series camera, with both the camera and the lens sharing data to dramatically reduce camera-shake blur, regardless of the situation, whether shooting video or stills. With up to 5 stops of stabilization, it delivers impressively clear results.
High Speed, Smooth AF with Dual Nano USM
The RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens uses two NANO USM focus motors, which is a first for Canon autofocus lenses. Close-focus performance is enhanced thanks to the lens' floating optical system. A high degree of quietness, power saving, and high-speed operation can be achieved without sacrificing the compact size of the lens.
Close Focusing
With a minimum focusing distance of 2.3 ft./0.7m, and a maximum magnification of .23x, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens excels in a variety of shooting situations. Whether closing in on the details of an object or capturing an unforgettable moment during a wedding ceremony, the lens provides incredible versatility with just the turn of the zoom ring.
Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes
The RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens has a separate, independent control ring that is located towards the back of the lens, which can be programmable for immediate exposure adjustments during still and video shooting. With the control ring, you can directly adjust settings such as shutter speed, lens aperture, exposure compensation and more. For photographers and moviemakers who would prefer a silent control ring, the clicking mechanism can be removed by a Canon service provider for a fee.
12 Pin Communication
Designed to quickly process data, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens has the 12 pin communication system inherent in all RF lenses. It provides high-speed communication with camera, lens information displayed in viewfinder and a Digital Lens Optimizer.
Dust/Weather-Resistant
For reliable performance even when weather conditions get difficult, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens features dust- and weather-resistant construction in the lens mount, switch panel and all rings. Sealing is applied to lens joining sections, and switch panels to help prevent water and dust from entering the lens.
