Canon EF 70-200mm f4L IS II USM Lens

A versatile and highly portable professional telephoto zoom that delivers superb image quality.

Ideal for those on the move: this telephoto zoom lens is highly portable yet delivers the kind of professional image quality that will take your breath away.

This versatile 70-200mm zoom lens has applications right across photography, but its lightweight compact design makes it especially suitable for travel, landscape and reportage photography. Enjoy professional performance and image quality wherever you are.

As you zoom the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM through its range, the lens’s f/4 maximum aperture stays the same. This design ensures that once the correct exposure is determined and set, it won’t change if you zoom to recompose.

Prevent blur from camera shake, even when shooting at 200mm and in low light conditions. A 5-stop Image Stabilizer allows photographers using the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM to shoot with shutter speeds five stops slower than normal without unwanted blur from camera movement.

The EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM uses fluorite to correct for optical anomalies, such as chromatic aberration – or coloured fringing. Super Spectra coatings reduce ghosting and flare.

Just like Canon’s other L-series lenses, the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM is built to exacting standards and inspires confidence from the moment you start using it. Its weather-sealed construction is designed to keep out dust and moisture, so you can keep shooting for longer.

Understanding: Aperture

Aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light enters the camera. It's measured in f-stops like f/2.8 or f/8. Lower f-stop numbers mean wider openings, letting in more light and creating a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Higher f-stop numbers mean smaller openings, letting in less light and creating a larger depth of field (more of the scene in focus). Aperture also affects the quality of out-of-focus areas in the image (bokeh).

Understanding: Lens Types

Different lenses have different purposes to achieve different styles of images, some popular ones include:
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length, sharp images, great for portraits and dark settings.
Zoom Lens: Variable focal length, versatile for different shots and everyday use..
Wide-Angle Lens: Captures wide scenes like landscapes.
Telephoto Lens: Magnifies distant subjects, ideal for sports & wildlife.
Macro Lens: Perfect for close-up photography of small subjects.
Fisheye Lens: Ultra-wide perspective, creates unique images.

Understanding: Lens Mounts

Different camera brands use different lens mounts, which are like connectors that attach lenses to camera bodies. Each mount is specific to a particular brand and camera series. For example, Canon uses the EF and RF mounts, Nikon uses the F mount, Sony uses the E mount for its mirrorless cameras. These mounts dictate which lenses are compatible with which cameras. Some brands offer adapters to use lenses from other systems, but it's essential to ensure compatibility for proper functionality and autofocus performance.

Understanding: Manual and Autofocus

Manual focus and autofocus are two ways to adjust the sharpness of a camera lens. With manual focus, you turn a ring on the lens to bring the subject into focus yourself, giving you full control over what appears sharp in the image. Autofocus, on the other hand, relies on the camera's built-in technology to automatically adjust the focus for you, usually by detecting contrast or phase differences in the scene. Autofocus can be convenient, especially for fast-moving subjects or when you need to capture a quick shot, whereas manual focus allows for precise adjustments and creative control over the final image.
