Name: RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
Brand: Canon
Availability: InStock

The Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is a revolutionary telephoto zoom — an internal zoom design means it stays the same length throughout the range, at just 146mm. It's significantly shorter than EF equivalents while delivering superb L-series image quality, fast Dual Nano USM AF, and 5-stop IS.

GearFrame's Take

A landmark telephoto zoom — internal zoom, exceptional optics, and the best IS in its class.
