Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens improves upon its predecessor, one of the most acclaimed lenses in the Canon EF line, with superior performance, increased speed and optical quality.

This lens is constructed of 23 elements in 19 groups (including 1 Fluorite and 5 UD elements) which help deliver the sharpness and reduced aberration which professional photographers rely upon from Canon. The IS II Optical Image Stabilizer provides up to 4 stops of correction at all focal lengths.

This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 3.9' (1.2 m) at all zoom settings so you can get the shot when shooting close to your subject even in smaller spaces. Like all Canon L-series lenses, this telephoto zoom is dust- and moisture-resistant and designed to keep on going even in the most challenging of environments.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens

One of the finest telephoto zoom lenses in the EF line, comparable to a single focal length lens. It has four UD-glass elements to correct chromatic aberrations. Its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture and superb image quality make it one of the most popular professional SLR lenses in the world. Compatible with Extender EF 1.4x II and 2x II.

The main differences are the first has IS and the second does not and the first is the newer generation 70-200 with much improved optics and the second is not. Though there is a image quality improvement with the newer lens, the original is no slouch.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
