One of the most versatile focal lengths is now available for Canon RF mount, the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Lens is an L-series telephoto zoom distinguished by its bright design and advanced optics. Ideal for a variety of subjects ranging from portraiture to sports, the fast constant f/2.8 maximum aperture excels in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for isolating subjects.

The optical layout of 17 elements in 13 groups makes use of One Super UD and Four UD low dispersion glass elements to suppress chromatic aberrations and colour fringing in order to realize a high degree of clarity throughout the zoom range. Two asperical elements reduces distortion to ensure optimal image quality across the zoom range. An Air Sphere Coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.

Balancing the distinguished optical assets is the Dual Nano USM focus system, which delivers fast, nearly silent autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. An Image Stabilizer also compensates for up to five stops of camera shake to help produce sharper handheld shots in difficult lighting conditions. A unique Control Ring is also integrated into the lens design for intuitive control over exposure settings from the lens itself. Additionally, this 70-200mm is weather-sealed and has a fluorine coating to protect the front and rear elements.

Versatile Pro-grade Zoom | Bright f/2.8 Aperture | High-speed Quiet Autofocus

Two Aspherical Elements, One Super UD and One UD Lens

The RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens features an optical design built specifically for the RF mount. This includes two aspheric lenses that correct distortions, plus one UD element and one Super UD element to reduce chromatic aberration and achieve high image quality across the board. Strategically placed coatings and a 9-blade aperture help ensure superlative quality images with sharp detail, gorgeous colour and minimized distortion throughout the zoom range.

Optical Image Stabilization with up to 5 Stops of Shake Correction

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, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM delivers impressively clear results with up to 5 stops of stabilization.

High Speed, Smooth and Quiet Auto Focus 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 a floating optical system. High degree of quietness, power saving, and high-speed operation can be achieved without sacrificing the compact size of the lens.

Minimum Focusing Distance of 0.7m

With a minimum focusing distance of 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 RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens provides incredible versatility with just the turn of the zoom ring.

Compact and Lightweight Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes
Weighing nearly 450 g 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, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM is an essential lens you will want to have in your bag. A separate, independent control ring located towards the back of the lens, can be programmed 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.

Dust- and Weather-resistant with Fluorine Coating

For reliable performance even when weather conditions get difficult, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens features a 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 into the lens.

Fluorine Coating

The RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens features fluorine coatings on the front and rearmost surfaces to help prevent dirt and dust from sticking to the lens, making it easy to clean smudges and fingerprints off.

High Reliability and Durability for Professional Use Vibration Shock Resistance
The 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is engineered to endure the rigors of professional use. Constructed to be rugged, refined and precise, it can be operated intuitively so concentration can remain on the subject at hand. Engineered to accommodate its optical system, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens features L series level vibration shock resistance in the lens barrel, helping to maintain focus and settings even in turbulent situations.

High-speed Communication with the Camera

Designed to quickly process data, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens features the 12 pin communication system inherent in all RF lenses. This accelerates AF, Image Stabilization, the Digital Lens Optimizer and more, helping to simplify complex operations and provide a quick and reliable user experience.

Lens Information Display In-camera Digital Lens Optimizer
As part of the EOS R system, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens works with an EOS R series camera to display the lens information right in the viewfinder – making it easy to confirm the lens's focal length without looking away from the subject at hand.                                                                                            The EOS R system's 12 pin communication system enables the Digital Lens Optimizer, which works in-camera to combat aberrations and image deterioration, especially in the edges of the image frame when shooting at a large aperture. Data from the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is transferred automatically to the camera body, facilitating near immediate correction for clear, detailed images.
