Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM

Name: Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM
Brand: Canon
Availability: InStock

Canon's compact telephoto zoom for the RF system — the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM collapses to an incredibly short 149mm when not in use and delivers superb image quality with up to 5 stops of optical image stabilisation. An ideal travel telephoto for the EOS R range, it is dramatically more portable than the f/2.8 version.

GearFrame's Take

The smart telephoto choice for RF shooters who want L-series quality in a remarkably compact package.
