Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens

The Canon 3044C002 is a 70-200 mm telephoto zoom lens built for photographers who demand reliable performance across portraits, sports, events, and wildlife. Its constant f/2.8 aperture lets you keep shutter speeds high and backgrounds soft, whether you are shooting in bright daylight or dim indoor arenas.

Inside the optical path, one fluorite element and five ultra-low dispersion glass elements work together to deliver images that are sharp and color-true. Canon’s Air Sphere Coating helps maintain contrast and lowers the risk of flare when you are working backlit at sunrise, under stadium lights, or on a stage. An eight-blade diaphragm produces out-of-focus areas that look smooth and natural, which is ideal for isolating subjects and adding depth to your compositions.

Handheld shooting is easier with the built-in Optical Image Stabilizer that offers up to 3.5 stops of compensation. Whether you are tracking a soccer player from the sidelines or capturing candid moments at a wedding reception, you can keep the camera mobile while still securing crisp results. Autofocus is driven by a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor, providing focusing that is both fast and quiet. Full-time manual override is always available, so you can fine-tune focus without switching modes, and the 3.9-foot minimum focus distance lets you move in tight for detail shots.

As part of the L-series, the lens features a design that is weather sealed and fitted with fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements to resist dust, moisture, and smudges. It is compatible with Canon’s EF 1.4X and 2X teleconverters, giving you extra reach when the assignment calls for it. Whether you are a working professional or an enthusiast who wants a single lens that covers a wide range of field situations, this lens offers dependable optics and build quality that can handle demanding conditions.
