Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS USM Lens

<p>An exceptionally fast medium telephoto prime, the<strong> EF 200mm f/2L IS USM</strong> is a <strong>Canon </strong>L-series lens that is ideal for portraiture as well as indoor sports shooting or other low-light, fast-motion applications. The large f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting and also afford extensive control over depth of field for isolating subject matter using selective focus. Equally impressive, the optical design incorporates ultra-low dispersion glass and fluorite elements to significantly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity. Additionally, Super Spectra coatings have been applied to suppress lens flare and ghosting for high contrast and colour neutrality when working in harsh lighting.</p>

<p>Complementing the imaging capabilities, this 200mm f/2 also features a four-stop-effective Image Stabiliser system that minimises the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. A ring-type USM and internal focusing mechanism also afford quick, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance, as well as full-time manual focus override. Additionally, a removable rotating tripod collar is included for stable use of the lens atop a tripod or monopod.</p>
