Extend your reach with clarity and precision
Capture stunning stills and steady footage with a versatile 70-200mm focal length range, while maintaining great depth-of-field control thanks to a constant f/2.8 aperture. Achieve sharp results with a 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabilizer1, and more with an IBIS-equipped camera4.
Capture sharp, high contrast images
Avoid aberration, ghosting and flare, thanks to two Super UD lenses, one UD lens, three aspherical lenses, and ASC and Super Spectra coatings. Plus, a fluorine coating protects the front element from dirt.
Accurate autofocus for stills and videos
Enjoy a smooth autofocus thanks to a Dual Nano USM, as well as professional filmmaking features including Electronic Parfocal Performance focus stability while zooming2 and focus breathing suppression to maintain a consistent field-of-view when pulling focus.
Zoom smoother and remotely
Operate optional Power Zoom Adapters – PZ-E2 or PZ-E2B – by hand or remotely via Canon’s Camera Connect / EOS Utility applications, Browser Remote function or over IP using Canon’s XC Protocol with compatible cameras. The PZ-E2B’s 20-pin interface also supports Zoom/Focus demands and the Zoom Servo Grip.

Physical Specifications
- Tested under CIPA standards
- CIPA-2024 standard: Optical Image Stabilizer: At lens centre 5.5-stops, in the yaw/pitch directions at a focal length of 200 mm using an EOS R8.
- Tested under CIPA standards
- CIPA-2024 standard: Optical Image Stabilizer plus IBIS: At lens centre 7.5-stops and corner 7.0-stops, in the yaw/pitch/roll directions at a focal length of 200 mm using an EOS R1.
- Lenses with dust/moisture resistance are fitted with a rubber ring on the lens mount which may cause slight abrasion of the camera mount. This in no way effects either the lens or camera performance.
