Key Features

• Compact and Lightweight Design: Weighing just 695g and measuring 119mm in length, this lens is one of the shortest and lightest 70-200mm f/4 interchangeable zoom lenses available. Its compact size makes it easy to carry and handle, perfect for travel and outdoor photography in New Zealand's diverse environments.
  
• Constant f/4 Aperture: The lens features a constant maximum aperture of f/4, providing consistent exposure settings throughout the zoom range. This aperture allows for good low-light performance and a shallow depth of field, ideal for isolating subjects and creating beautiful background blur (bokeh).
  
• Advanced Optical Design: The RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens incorporates four Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) elements and Air Sphere and Fluorine coatings to minimize chromatic aberrations, ghosting, and flare. This design ensures sharp, high-contrast images with accurate colour reproduction, even in challenging lighting conditions.
  
• 5 Stops of Image Stabilization: The lens is equipped with an Optical Image Stabilizer that compensates for up to 5 stops of camera shake, allowing for handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds. When paired with Canon's EOS R5 or R6 cameras, the coordinated IS system provides up to 7.5 stops of shake correction, enhancing stability during handheld shooting.
  
• Dual Nano USM Autofocus: The lens features Dual Nano USM motors, delivering fast, smooth, and nearly silent autofocus performance. This makes it ideal for both still photography and videography, ensuring quick subject acquisition and minimal focus noise.
  
• Weather-Sealed Construction: Designed to withstand the elements, the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens features weather-sealed construction, protecting it from dust and moisture. This durability is especially beneficial for outdoor photography in New Zealand's varied climates.
