Constant f2.8 Brightness & Superior Close Focusing
Bring subjects to life, whatever the lighting. With its constant f2.8 maximum aperture, the Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM lens makes backgrounds beautifully soft to really emphasise in-focus details. The large aperture also expands your possibilities in low-light situations, capturing the likes of night scenes or live music more clearly and sharply.

5-stop Image Stabiliser for Superior Sharpness
Get sharper results when shooting handheld thanks to the Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM lens’ powerful 5-stop Image Stabiliser. With Dual Sensing IS for stills and Combination IS for movies, this dramatically reduces blur from camera shake to give you crisp photos and smooth, steady videos. Simply set the IS switch to the mode best suited to your shooting situation: mode 1 for stationary subjects, mode 2 for panning, or mode 3 for irregular movement.
Accelerated Performance & In-camera Optimisation
Like all RF lenses, the Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM lens utilizes a 12-pin communication system that accelerates performance. This system also enables the Digital Lens Optimiser, which corrects aberrations and maximises picture quality (particularly at the edges of frames shot using a large aperture) directly in the camera, making images as clear and detailed as possible.
Dual Nano USM for Fast, Quiet Autofocus
Lock onto your subject in no time and with virtually no noise. In a first among Canon autofocus lenses, the Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM uses two Nano USMs (ultrasonic motors). These deliver fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus, enabling you to capture an intimate wedding ceremony or rare bird sighting without missing or disturbing a moment.
Built for Professional Use
Like all L series lenses, the Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM lens is built to maximise usability and withstand the heaviest professional demands. A customisable control ring lets you instantly and intuitively adjust shutter speed, aperture, ISO, exposure compensation, and other settings. A dust- and weather-resistant design, as well as a shock-resistant lens barrel, ensure reliable performance even in challenging conditions. Fluorine coatings on the lens’ front and rear surfaces help to repel dirt and dust, allowing for easy removal of smudges and fingerprints.
