This high-quality telephoto lens comes with a maximum aperture of f/2 and Line L construction and optics. The product has ten lens elements and Super Spectra coating for accurate colour balance and minimising glare and ghosting. This makes it possible to take sharp and accurate pictures at all apertures. The lens is ideal for indoor sports and portraits with background blur. The UltraSonic Motor (USM) makes autofocus fast and quiet. There is also full manual focusing, which allows you to adjust focus without leaving the AF mode.
The L-series construction offers premium display quality, easy manipulation and increased resistance to moisture and dust. A switch on the lens barrel lets you set the focus range for faster AF. To extend the capabilities of this model, you can purchase a 1.4x teleconverter, 2x focal extender, as well as the EF 12 II / EF 25 II extension tube for focus on a much shorter distance. In addition, the lens passes distance information back to the flash-measuring system E-TTL II and therefore ensures accurate flash measurements.
