5-stop IS, Dual Nano USM, Lens Control Ring
The Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM is a professional-grade telephoto zoom lens designed for photographers who demand outstanding image quality, fast performance, and reliability in all conditions. Built for the EOS R system, it delivers a classic 70–200mm focal length range in a smaller and lighter design than its EF predecessor, while providing even higher optical performance.
This lens is widely used for sports, travel, portrait, wedding and reportage photography, combining flexibility, speed and L-series durability in one compact package.
Professional Performance with Constant f/2.8 Aperture
A constant f/2.8 maximum aperture provides excellent clarity in low-light situations while allowing strong creative control over depth of field. This makes it ideal for subject separation, portraits, indoor sports, and events where lighting can change quickly.
5-Stop Image Stabilisation for Sharp Handheld Shooting
The built-in 5-stop Image Stabilizer helps maintain sharpness when shooting handheld, especially in low-light conditions or when using slower shutter speeds. This is particularly valuable for weddings, reportage, travel, and sports, where a tripod isn’t always practical.
Fast and Silent Dual Nano USM Autofocus
For the first time in a Canon lens, Dual Nano USM motors are used to deliver fast, smooth, and near-silent autofocus. This ensures reliable tracking for fast-moving subjects and smooth focus transitions for video, making the lens well suited for both still photography and filmmaking.
Advanced Optical Design for High Image Quality
The RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM features advanced lens coatings to produce sharper images with strong contrast and clarity. A 9-blade aperture enhances out-of-focus rendering, helping highlights stand out and supporting creative depth-of-field control.
L-Series Build for Professional Use
As part of Canon’s L-series, this lens is built to perform in demanding environments. It features:
- Weather-sealed construction
- Fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements to resist dust, water and scratches
- White heat-blocking paint to help prevent overheating in extreme temperatures
This makes it reliable for outdoor sports, travel and professional assignments.
Compact, Travel-Friendly Design
Thanks to its RF-mount design, this lens is shorter and more compact than the EF equivalent. It includes:
- Improved close-focusing capability
- Full-time manual focus
- Zoom ring lock to prevent the lens extending while travelling
These features make it easier to carry and faster to use when shooting on the move.
Customisable Control at Your Fingertips
The built-in Lens Control Ring allows you to adjust camera settings such as aperture or shutter speed directly from the lens, helping you stay focused on capturing the moment.
