Key Features

• Fast f/2.8 Aperture: The wide f/2.8 aperture provides excellent low-light performance, enabling sharp images even in challenging lighting conditions. It also allows for beautiful background blur (bokeh), making it perfect for portraiture, wildlife photography, and isolating subjects against a soft, creamy background.
  
• Zoom Range (70-200mm): The 70-200mm focal length is perfect for telephoto photography, offering flexibility to shoot everything from mid-range portraits to distant wildlife or sports action. Whether you're shooting a rugby match in Auckland, wildlife in Fiordland, or landscape shots in Queenstown, this lens has you covered.
  
• L-Series Optics for Superior Image Quality: As part of Canon’s L-series, the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens is equipped with premium optical elements that deliver superb image quality. The lens minimizes optical distortions such as chromatic aberration and flare, ensuring sharp, high-contrast images with vivid colour reproduction in all lighting conditions.
  
• 5 Stops of Image Stabilization: The image stabilization system provides up to 5 stops of shake correction, helping ensure sharp images when shooting handheld, even in low-light conditions or at slower shutter speeds. Perfect for capturing handheld shots of wildlife or shooting video without a tripod in locations like Rotorua’s geothermal areas.
  
• Fast, Silent Autofocus: The USM (Ultrasonic Motor) autofocus system offers quick, smooth, and almost silent focusing. This makes the lens ideal for both still photography and video work, especially when you need fast focus transitions for subjects in motion, such as sports or wildlife photography.
  
• Compact and Lightweight Design: Despite being a telephoto lens, the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is compact and relatively lightweight compared to similar lenses, making it easy to carry for long shoots or travel photography.
