Lens Elements

The fluorine coating stumps away dirt and water drops on the front lens and the Super Spectra anti-reflex treatment eliminates reflections. The fluorite lenses available in the lens can correct colour defects and ensure high resolution and contrast images. The amazing and reliable image quality is invaluable when it comes to reducing the time of post-processing.

EF 70-200mm f / 4L IS II USM has a 9-leaf circular aperture that creates an attractive backdrop, makes the background blurred and enhances the subject itself. 

Image Stabilisation

The new image stabilization device is based on Canon 100-100mm f / 4.5-5.6L IS II USM design. It delivers the equivalent effect as with a 5-step shorter shutter speed, compared to the previous 3-step lens *.

Looking to sell your Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L IS II USM Lens?

Our Verdict

At 780g this lens is particularly lightweight for a telephoto zoom and with a fixed wide aperture of f/4 throughout the range, it is a fantastic option for when discretion, quick focusing and clear results are required. What more could you wish for a wide range of photography subjects as diverse as travel, portraiture and landscapes?

The ergonomics are second to none, we love the manual focus-ring that facilitates fine adjustments to be made to the focus points, and the ergonomic design not only makes it user-friendly, but feels sturdy too. At around half the weight of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens, the loss of 1 stop of light is worth the weight saving to many users. Add in the convenient 77 mm filter thread, weather resistant construction and image stabilisation and we feel this is an excellent choice for Canon users.
