Canon RF70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM Z
Cinematic Telephoto Zoom
The RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z stands out as a telephoto zoom with iris control for precise creative expression. Featuring a wide f/2.8 aperture and an 11-blade circular design, it produces beautifully cinematic bokeh that elevates your filmmaking. In addition, it offers up to 7.5 stops of image stabilisation when paired with compatible cameras, delivering stability that rivals tripod-mounted shots for sharp and smooth handheld filming.
The dual Nano USM delivers quick, precise, and near-silent AF, ideal for video recording.
-
Iris Control & Large f/2.8 Aperture
-
Up to 7.5 Stops Image Stabilisation with 3 IS Modes
-
Dual Nano USM & Up to 0.3x Magnification
The RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z comes in two colours. The white is coated with a thermal barrier paint to minimise optical distortion from heat, protect sensitive internal electronics, enhance durability in harsh environments, and ensures the exterior remains comfortable to handle even under in prolonged exposure to sunlight. The black offers an inconspicuous design that blends seamlessly with other video equipment, reduces reflections entering the image, and provides a sleek, professional aesthetic in any production environment.
0.3x Magnification
Capture breathtaking images up-close with the RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z at magnifications of up to 0.3x with its short minimum focusing distance of 0.68m (at 200mm).
Beautiful Bokeh
The constant large aperture of f/2.8 enables a faster shutter speed in low-light situations, preserving the quality of details by avoiding the use of high ISO speeds. Coupled with the 11-blade circular aperture, it produces breathtaking bokeh that are highly sought-after.
Image Stabilisation
The RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z's built-in Optical Image Stabilizer provides up to 5.5 stops of image stabilisation.
When used with compatible cameras equipped with In-Body Image Stabilizer, the lens supports Coordinated Control IS that delivers up to 7.5 stops of image stabilisation. For low-light handheld shots, which normally requires a tripod, this is the perfect choice.
Precise Focusing
The RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z’s electronic floating focus control, precise zoom group detection, and optimised optical design ensure flawless focus during zooming.
Paired with the EOS R1 or EOS R5 Mark II, it takes AF tracking to the next level, empowering creators to capture every moment with clarity and precision, inspiring new creative possibilities.
Focus Breathing Correction
When recording videos, a typical phenomenon that occurs is a 'pulsing effect' in the footage whereby the camera's angle of view changes slightly during focus racking.
The RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z addresses this by compensating for the change in field of view when the focus point is changed, resulting in seamless video recording.
Three IS Modes
The RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z has 3 selectable IS modes:
- IS Mode 1 for stationary subjects
- IS Mode 2 for panning
- IS Mode 3 for subjects with unpredictable movement
With two Nano USMs, the lens focuses very quickly and silently, making it suitable even for movie recording.
When combined with the newly improved floating focus system, the lens is able to suppress focus fluctuation when zooming to deliver outstanding image quality throughout the focusing range.
With a revolutionary design and optical setup made possible by the RF mount, the RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z delivers superior image quality throughout the image, including the edges.
Aspherical Lenses
Replica aspheric lens, glass-molded (GMo) aspherical lens and UD aspheric lens are optimally positioned within the RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z to deliver stellar image quality with minimum spherical aberration and image distortion.
UD Lenses
Using two Super Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) lenses and one UD aspheric lens to effectively correct chromatic aberration, the RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z delivers high image quality with minimal colour blurring.
Air Sphere Coating (ASC)
Air Sphere Coating suppresses ghosting and reduces flare from your images through the innovative use of an anti-reflection technology that forms an ultra-low-refractive index layer on the elements within the lens.
Iris Control
This lens has an iris ring for controlling the aperture physically on the lens. Like a cinema lens, the user can enjoy light, smooth torque and intuitive control over aperture and exposure adjustment.
Non-Extending Zoom
The RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z features a fixed-length design that ensures a balanced center of gravity. This is ideal for videographers seeking seamless video recording with additional accessories like a gimbal.
Comfortable Zoom
With a 70° zoom angle, the RF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Z allows you to operate the zoom ring more easily. Your hand can remain in a natural position as you zoom between telephoto and wider focal length.
The tripod mount can be attached and detached without a special tool, making it easier for you to switch between shooting styles.
Two customisable Lens Function buttons on the body of the lens allow you to instantly access various functions related to AF, exposure, connectivity, and more.
The lens has a dust- and drip-resistant construction that keeps dust and water droplets out.
A smudge-resistant fluorine coating is applied on the front lens, preventing moisture and oil from sticking.
