Complete the RF F2.8 lens trinity with the addition of the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens. Designed to complement the EOS R system, this impressive L-series lens offers a telephoto zoom focal length that helps you get closer to faraway subjects. As Canon’s lightest and shortest 70-200mm f/2.8 lens ever, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM is engineered to make traveling more comfortable, offering a compact and portable design that’s easy to pack and carry wherever you go. Coupled with a large f/2.8 maximum aperture for sharp, bright images and videos, even in low-light settings, Canon’s Nano USM technology for fast and virtually silent AF and up to 5 stops of shake correction, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM will quickly become a favorite among portrait, wedding and sports photographers.

High Image Quality and Bright f/2.8 Aperture Telephoto Zoom RF L Lens

Featuring an incredibly bright zoom with an f/2.8 maximum aperture – that stays constant throughout the zoom – 17 elements in 13 groups and a 9-blade aperture system, The RF 70–200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is engineered to deliver sharp images with beautiful background blur.

Compact and Lightweight

Weighing nearly 1 pound lighter than its EF-series predecessor, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM is Canon's shortest and lightest 70-200mm f/2.8 lens ever. Ideal for portrait, wildlife, sports photography and more, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM is an essential lens you will want to have in your bag.

Optical Image Stabilization with up to 5 Stops of Shake Correction

The RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is designed to work in conjunction with an EOS R series camera, with both the camera and the lens sharing data to dramatically reduce camera-shake blur, regardless of the situation, whether shooting video or stills. With up to 5 stops of stabilization, it delivers impressively clear results.

High Speed, Smooth and Quiet Auto Focus with Dual Nano USM

The RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens uses two NANO USM focus motors, which is a first for Canon autofocus lenses. Close-focus performance is enhanced thanks to the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens' floating optical system. A high degree of quietness, power saving, and high-speed operation can be achieved without sacrificing the compact size of the lens.

Minimum Focusing Distance of 2.3 ft./0.7m

With a minimum focusing distance of 2.3 ft./0.7m, and a maximum magnification of .23x, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens excels in a variety of shooting situations.

Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes

The RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM lens has a separate, independent control ring that is located towards the back of the lens, which can be programmable for immediate exposure adjustments during still and video shooting. With the control ring, you can directly adjust settings such as shutter speed, lens aperture, exposure compensation and more. For photographers and moviemakers who would prefer a silent control ring, the clicking mechanism can be removed by a Canon service provider for a fee.

  • Fluorine coatings on front and rearmost surfaces
  • High reliability and durability for professional use
  • Vibration shock resistance

Two Aspherical Elements, One Super UD and One UD Lens

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 👍🏼 great,compact, agile picture taking lens Great lens, great pictures, I like that the lens extends when you zoom compared to the internal zoom type lens type, that helps with the space the lens takes in my backpack. Its a very quick, agile shooting lens. I have it paired with my R5C

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Amazing lens. Fast focusing, sharp images. Paired with my R5, it’s a phenomenal combo. I’ve never owned a 70-200 2.8, only the EF 70-200 f4 IS so I was on the fence between the 2.8 vs the f4, and so happy I got the f/2.8. I hands down recommend the faster lens.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Holy Grail Lens I recently purchased the Canon RF 70-200mm lens and I am blown away by its performance. The lens is incredibly sharp and produces stunning bokeh. The image stabilization is top-notch and the autofocus is fast and accurate. The build quality is excellent and the lens feels solid in my hands. The focal length range is perfect for portraits, wildlife, and sports photography. The aperture range of f/2.8 allows for great low-light performance and beautiful depth of field. The telescoping design of the lens makes it compact and easy to carry around. Overall, I highly recommend the Canon RF 70-200mm lens to anyone looking for a high-quality telephoto zoom lens. It’s an amazing lens that delivers exceptional results every time
