    Product Description

    From the Manufacturer

    Zoom in on a favorite subject from a distance with the Canon EF 200mm telephoto lens. Offering a long focal length that lets you effectively compress the distance between the subject and camera, the lens lets you easily capture the details and feeling of a far-off scene. The lens is distinguished by two ultra-low-dispersion (UD) glass elements and a rear focusing system to correct aberrations, producing extremely sharp images. The lens also offers a natural-looking background blur and comes with a dedicated, detachable hood. The lens carries a one-year warranty.

    • Focal length: 200mm
    • Maximum aperture: f/2.8
    • Lens construction: 9 elements in 7 groups
    • Diagonal angle of view: 12 degrees
    • Focus adjustment: Rear focusing system with USM
    • Closest focusing distance: 4.9 feet
    • Filter size: 72mm
    • Dimensions: 3.3 inches in diameter, 5.4 inches long
    • Weight: 1.7 pounds Lighter by more than 1.2 pounds (545g) than the 70-200 f/2.8L zoom lens, this fast telephoto lens is a perfect alternative for low-light shooting or just reducing weight in the gadget bag. Two UD-glass elements and internal rear-group focusing are among its optical highlights, and itís fully compatible with Canonís EF 1.4x II and 2x II tele extenders. A detachable hood is included, and Tripod Ring A (B) is available as an accessory.

      Long and Fast
      A telephoto lens is essential to any serious photographer. For sports action, you will need a fast shutter speed and a long focal length. A large maximum aperture allows a faster shutter speed. In this telephoto lens line-up, the focal lengths range from 135mm to 300mm. If you want compactness, choose a lens with a smaller maximum aperture.

    WOW is all I can say!!!
    5 Stars
    WOW is all I can say!!!
    I got this lens today and, in spite of pouring Spring rain, I had to test it out. I can only say, "WOW"!!!I was looking for something to take mostly dog photos while they were farther away from me than I could cover with my 85mm. I don't like zooms since I can't seem to get the crispness I am looking for. The reviews WERE great and, although for a hobbist photographer it was a bit pricey, I decided you get what you pay for so I ordered it.I started indoors and was able to get some great shots but my colors were a bit too saturated. Easy enough to fix!!!Finally, it stopped pouring and was just raining so I took it outside. Once I figured out my depth of field, I had a ball!!!The lighting was terrible, it was freezing, and I was hand holding so I used the automatic sport setting figuring it would be fast enough to help with my hand shake. This lens IS heavy, but can be hand held with decent results. If you can brace yourself against a tree or something, it is even better.Sadly, I haven't learned enough to trust my use of manual settings so I take tons of photos at different settings and usually end up with a few that are what I was looking for. This lens made finding a few keepers way too easy!!!Colors were impeccible, focus was right on, although I did use a bit of manual fine tuning due to the poor lighting, and the bokeh was superb! I was amazed at how quiet the focus is, and how little searching was done, even with the poor lighting and mist.Just for a test, I popped on my Canon 55 - 250mm is lens, set it at 200mm, and tried the same shots. Obviously, it was NOT a fair test as I would never chose that lens with the poor weather conditions, but it DID make me way more impressed with the 200mm!!!I can't wait for a nicer day to REALLY test it out!!! Admittedly, it is a relatively inexpensive "L" lens, but it is way, way better than what I have been shooting with and I am happy that I made the step up.
