Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8L IS III USM Full-Frame Lens (2018)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8L IS III USM is a telephoto zoom lens for Canon EF-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Canon in 2018, it has 23 elements in 19 groups.
Photographers will be pleased by the fact that the lens is internally-zooming, meaning that the barrel does not extend when the focal length is changed. This helps balance and weather sealing; it is also great for long-term durability, as there is less chance for moisture and dirt to get in. For incremental weathers, Canon is kind enough to include weather sealing.
As a telephoto zoom lens with a bright maximum aperture, the Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8L IS III USM is well suited for sports and portrait photography. Built-in image stabilization makes the lens easier to use handheld, and can be quite valuable for landscape works. Those who like sunstars (sun bursts) will be pleased by the lens' even-numbered aperture count, though conversely those who find sunstars distracting may have the opposite feeling. Owners will also like the available tripod collar.
