REACH BOTH SIDES OF YOUR STORY

Smooth, agile and practical, this versatile lens is ideal for hybrid shooting professionals looking for extra flexibility and reach. Along with a focal length range of 70-200mm, its professional filmmaking features such as a constant f/2.8 aperture and dedicated iris ring makes it the best telephoto lens for your videos and stills cameras. Optional RF Extenders deliver extended reach.

Features and benefits

Extend your reach with clarity and precision
Capture stunning stills and steady footage with a versatile 70-200mm focal length range, while maintaining great depth-of-field control thanks to a constant f/2.8 aperture. Achieve sharp results with a 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabilizer¹, and more with an IBIS-equipped camera².

Capture sharp, high contrast images
Avoid aberration, ghosting and flare, thanks to two Super UD lenses, one UD lens, three aspherical lenses, and ASC and Super Spectra coatings. Plus, a fluorine coating protects the front element from dirt.

Fast, agile, and intuitive
Manually adjust your aperture with a smooth Iris Ring and enjoy a smoother, silent operation with 32 steps between stops in movie mode. A lock release switch for the 'Auto' position provides greater control, with an 11-blade iris for beautiful circular bokeh.

Accurate autofocus for stills and videos
Enjoy a smooth autofocus thanks to a Dual Nano USM, as well as professional filmmaking features including Electronic Parfocal Performance for focus stability while zooming² and focus breathing suppression for sharp and stable footage.

Zoom smoother and remotely
Operate optional Power Zoom Adapters – PZ-E2 or PZ-E2B – by hand or remotely via Canon's Camera Connect / EOS Utility applications, Browser Remote function or over IP using Canon’s XC Protocol with compatible cameras. The PZ-E2B’s 20-pin interface also supports Zoom/Focus demands and the Zoom Servo Grip.
