Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture
The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens features an incredibly bright zoom
with an f/2.8 maximum aperture that stays constant throughout the zoom range.
The lens's bright image even enhances AF performance for faster, more accurate
focus. Combined with its 8-blade circular aperture, the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS
III USM lens is engineered to capture dramatic images with gorgeous background
blur.
Air Sphere Coating (ASC)
The addition of Canons Air Sphere Coating (ASC) enhances the EF 70-200mm
f/2.8L IS III USM lenss ability to suppress reflections. ASC helps combat
aberrations regardless of focal length or the angle of light. This helps provide
cleaner photographs with fewer distracting reflective effects in the image
Image Stabilization
For consistently sharp results, the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens
features an Optical Image Stabilizer system that provides shake reduction for up
to 3.5 shutter speed stops1. This helps provide reliable handheld performance
and clear image detail in low-light situations or at lower ISOs.
Fluorine Coating
To help maintain a clean lens, the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens has a
specially designed fluorine coating on its front and rear surfaces. This
fluorine coating helps prevent dust, water, oil and other surface residue like
fingerprints from sticking to the lens, which facilitates quick and easy wiping,
without the use of solvents.
Dust- and Water-resistant
Built to L-Series lens specifications, the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM
offers optical excellence and an enhanced with a highly durable design to
perform in even the most challenging environments. It delivers a dust- and
water-resistant construction with seals around the mount, switches, zoom ring
and more.
Ring Ultrasonic Motor
To help capture every movement of your subject, the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS
III USM lens features a fast and near-silent AF system. It uses an inner
focusing ring USM (ultrasonic motor) system that works with a high-speed CPU and
optimized AF algorithms to help deliver precise, lightning-fast performance. For
even more refinement, full-time manual focus is offered as well.
Full-time Manual Focus
The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens offers complete manual focusing, even
when AF is engaged, with a simple twist of the lens's focus ring. Additionally,

can be especially handy when shooting video or composing still images on an SLR
camera's screen.
One Fluorite Element and Five UD Elements
The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens features a superb optical formula for
high-resolution, high-contrast images throughout its zoom range. It consists of
23 lens elements in 19 groups, including one fluorite and five Ultra Dispersion
(UD) elements. The result? A lens of great clarity and fidelity that helps
render sharp, beautifully detailed images with minimal distortion.
Minimum Focusing Distance of Approx. 3.9 ft./1.2m
With a minimum focusing distance of approx. 3.9 ft./1.2m, the EF 70-200mm
f/2.8L IS III USM lens helps enable operation close to the subject, perfect for
intimate portraits, headshots and detail work.
