The Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM is a lightweight, compact L Series telephoto zoom lens with Image Stabilizer. With all the optical brilliance of the larger f/2.8 aperture version, the 70-200mm f/4L is a zoom lens with great possibilities for portraiture and travel. All of the features of the bigger lens are present here as well, including ultra-low dispersion glass, internal focus and fulltime manual focusing override.
The optical Image Stabilization in this lens provides up to an incredible four stops of shake correction - a first for Canon IS lenses. The use of fluorite UD lens elements provides excellent optical performance in terms of resolution and contrast. These features, together with its water and dust-proof construction, provide both the performance and portability to meet user demands.
