Building on a history of meeting the exacting demands of professionals who turn an instant into a work of art, this long-selling lens now advances into a higher realm. The conventional coatings on the EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM have been completely reworked, with additional use of ASC, to achieve long-awaited reductions in flaring and ghosting. It inherits an uncompromising optical system with a fluorite element and five UD elements, meeting demands for greater image quality. Its CIPA standard in-lens image stabilization, equivalent to 3.5 stops,* creates a stable finder image to ensure sure framing and confirmation of focus. Along with its high robustness and ease of operation, the EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM offers ease of maintenance through a fluorine coating. This large-aperture telephoto zoom lens raises the level of the standard.
