L-series construction
The EF 200mm f/2L IS USM incorporates
Canon’s highest standard of precision optics. The L-series is Canon’s
flagship lens range, combining outstanding image quality with
exceptional operability. Dust and moisture seals offer advanced
protection from the elements, even in harsh weather conditions.
Large
f/2.0 aperture
A large maximum aperture of f/2.0 provides
outstanding speed for shooting in low light conditions, without the need
for flash. The large aperture also provides fine control over depth of
field for compelling portrait photography.
5-Stop Image
Stabilizer
Canon’s 5-stop compensation Image Stabilizer
technology allows the use of shutter speeds up to 5 times slower, with
no perceptible increase in image blur. Automatic panning detection
automatically turns off the Image Stabilizer in either the horizontal or
vertical direction when following moving subjects. Tripod detection
automatically improves the functionality of the Image Stabilizer when
shooting on a tripod.
Super Spectra coating
Super
Spectra coatings help ensure accurate colour balance and high contrast,
and suppress flare and ghosting by absorbing light that might be
reflected off internal lens elements and digital EOS sensors.
Fluorite
and UD elements
For optimum visual performance, the lens
incorporates Fluorite and UD (ultra-low dispersion) elements to minimise
chromatic aberrations. The result is crisp, high contrast and
exceptional image quality throughout the frame.
Circular
aperture
A circular aperture delivers smooth, even-looking bokeh
(background blur) – ideal for isolating subjects, or compelling
portraiture.
Ring USM auto focus with manual override
Canon’s
ring USM auto focus system employs ultra-sonic frequency vibrations for
fast, accurate and virtually silent operation with excellent
positioning control. Full-time manual focus, via a large ring that does
not rotate during auto focus, allows photographers to begin fine-tuning a
shot instantly. Also included is focus preset, already found on the EF
300mm f/2.8L IS USM, which allows selection and storage of a specific
focus position, for instant recall when required.
