Outstanding Optical Performance with Consistent F2.8 Maximum Aperture
By taking advantage of the large diameter RF mount and short back focus, the RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z is able to achieve a maximum aperture of F2.8 throughout its entire zoom range. This enables you to continuously shoot up to the frequently used 200mm without switching lenses, opening a world of possibilities for both photo and movie shooting. But, why stop there when we don’t have to? This new lens is compatible with both RF1.4x and RF2.0x Extenders for even more range of 280mm and 400mm respectively.
Supports Optional Canon Power Zoom Adapters
The RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z crosses the worlds of photography and movies. The optional Power Zoom Adapters PZ-E2 and PZ-E2B enable smooth, high-precision zoom control during movie shooting, that can even be operating remotely with the Canon Camera Connect and EOS Utility apps. Plus, attachment and detaching can be managed without the use of a special tool. The Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E2B comes equipped with a 20-pin port for compatibility with cinema or broadcast lens accessories such as the Digital Zoom Demand ZSD-300D or the Digital Focus Demand FPD-400D. This lens and Power Zoom Adapter combination makes unassisted single-person video shooting operation easy and within reach.
Eleven Aperture Blades for Rich Bokeh
With eleven aperture blades and a large F2.8 aperture, the RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z produces a beautiful, almost circular bokeh effect — even when stopped-down, thanks to an 11-blade aperture. The wide aperture also allows for faster shutter speeds in low light situations and helps prevent subject blurs.
Iris Ring for Precise Lens Aperture Control
The RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z is equipped with an iris ring (for aperture control). This allows videographers and photographers to manually control exposure adjustment and the degree of background blur while shooting, with click-less, smooth operation — similar to the operability in a cinema lens.
Close-focusing of 1.6 ft., Max. Magnification 0.2x
With a minimum focusing distance of approximately 1.6 ft./0.49m, the RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z lens helps you get close to your subjects. The maximum magnification of 0.3x at 200mm allows you to capture subtle details more expansively and clearly. Focus shifts during zooming are minimal — plus, it supports focus breathing correction3, in which the camera digitally corrects for changes in angle of view caused by focus movement during video recording, especially during closeup shooting.
* When attached to an EOS R-series camera with focus breathing correction. Available in movie recording mode only.
Optical Image Stabilization
For consistently sharp results, the RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z features built-in optical Image Stabilization, providing enhanced shake reduction for up to 5.5 stops of shake correction. When paired with an EOS R-series camera that has In- Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), the Coordinated IS allows for up to 7.5 stops of correction4 at the center of the image. This means more reliable handheld performance and clear detail in low-light situations, without having to increase the ISO or slow your shutter speed . Additionally, an IS Mode switch is available for quickly switching between the three IS Modes available. Mode 1 for capturing stationary subjects correcting shake in all directions, Mode 2 for panning with moving subjects correcting shake only in one direction, and Mode 3 for irregularly moving subjects where IS calculations start when the shutter button is pressed halfway but the stabilization is only activated when fully pressing the shutter button – making it easier to follow the subject.
* CIPA 2024 standards. In the yaw/pitch/roll directions at a focal length of 200 mm using an EOS R1.
Nano USM Maintains Focus While Zooming
The RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z Features a focus drive system with two nano USM motors, powering both the autofocus unit, and a “floating” optics assembly which move independently to ensure maximum image quality. Nano USM motors provides quiet and smooth AF, especially useful during movie recording. In addition, the Nano USM maintains focus while zooming to suppress aberration fluctuations during high-speed burst or movie shooting .
Excellent Handling
With its Internal zooming, internal focusing, fixed length lens barrel design and balanced center of gravity, the RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z provides excellent handling for any shooting style and is especially advantageous when using accessories for shooting video . The lens comes with a tripod mount that can be easily attached and detached with a lock release button, without the need of a special tool. Also available is the LH-E1 lens holder (bundled), which supports the lens when combining with a rig.
Durable and Dependable Build
The RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z boasts amazing durability and endurance you’d expect from an L-series lens. The lens barrel does not move during zooming or focusing; both are achieved entirely internally. Weather-resistant sealing is applied to areas such as the operation rings and switch panel to help prevent water and dust from entering the unit. Fluorine coating is applied on the front lens to prevent water, oil and other surface residue like fingerprints from sticking to the lens, which facilitates quick and easy wiping without the use of solvents. This dust- and water-resistant design allows for outstanding performance even in inclement weather conditions.
