The essential telephoto lens for professional photography

A modern classic: this fast-aperture telephoto zoom lens is a favourite with photographers in virtually every genre. It’s now even better in bright light, and engineered to perform in the most challenging conditions.

Enjoy extra creative control

The lens’s f/2.8 maximum aperture makes it easy to emphasise pin-sharp subjects against a smooth out-of-focus background.

Low light? No problem

A 3.5-stop Image Stabilizer guards against camera shake. A fast f/2.8 aperture lets in twice as much light as an f/4 lens

Superb image quality

Fluorite and UD optics deliver high contrast and excellent resolution. Improved lens coatings combat ghosting and flare.
