The EF 200mm f2L IS USM is a high-performance medium telephoto lens for professionals.

The Canon 200mm IS Lens large f/2 aperture ensures optimum results indoors and in low light situations. The L-series is Canon’s flagship lens range, combining outstanding image quality with exceptional operability. Dust and moisture seals offer advanced protection from the elements, even in harsh weather conditions. A large maximum aperture of f/2.0 provides outstanding speed for shooting in low light conditions, without the need for flash. The large aperture also provides fine control over depth of field for compelling portrait photography.

Canon’s 5-stop compensation Image Stabilizer technology allows the use of shutter speeds up to 5 times slower, with no perceptible increase in image blur. Super Spectra coatings help ensure accurate colour balance and high contrast, and suppress flare and ghosting by absorbing light that might be reflected off internal lens elements and digital EOS sensors. For optimum visual performance, the lens incorporates Fluorite and UD (ultra-low dispersion) elements to minimise chromatic aberrations. The result is crisp, high contrast and exceptional image quality throughout the frame.

The Canon 200mm f2 IS features ring USM auto focus with manual override.

Canon’s ring USM auto focus system employs ultra-sonic frequency vibrations for fast, accurate and virtually silent operation with excellent positioning control. Full-time manual focus, via a large ring that does not rotate during auto focus, allows photographers to begin fine-tuning a shot instantly. Also included is focus preset, already found on the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM, which allows selection and storage of a specific focus position, for instant recall when required.
