Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens (Black, Canon RF) Discount

Hybrid Workhorse Telephoto Zoom

Engineered for professionals seeking exceptional quality and consistency in both photo and video, the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens is a powerhouse telephoto lens with internal focusing and zooming, purpose-built to complement Canon’s latest mirrorless cameras. Its hybrid design is optimized for professional-grade results, whether you’re capturing action handheld from the sidelines or achieving fluid motion on a gimbal.

Construction and Optical Design

This lens’s internal focusing and zooming design makes it ideal for videographers using gimbals, with dual floating Nano USM motors that independently drive the Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus for fast, quiet performance. This setup minimizes focus breathing, preserving image integrity across the zoom range, while a manual, lockable iris ring ensures consistent exposure during shooting.

The lens boasts a sophisticated optical structure, with 18 elements arranged in 15 groups. It includes two super ultralow dispersion elements, an additional ultralow dispersion element to reduce chromatic aberrations, and three aspherical lenses for sharp, edge-to-edge clarity. Canon’s Air Sphere and Super Spectra Coatings help reduce ghosting and flare, and a fluorine coating on the front element protects against oil and water, keeping the lens clear and durable in various conditions.

Additional Benefits

With a close 26.8″ minimum focus distance and 0.3x maximum magnification, this lens is designed for versatility, featuring two programmable lens function buttons and a customizable control ring for personalized settings. Built with L-series level weather resistance, it’s ready for demanding environments, and it’s compatible with Canon’s PZ-E2 or PZ-E2B power zoom adapters as well as the optional RF 1.4x or RF 2x extenders for even greater reach.
