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

Enjoy extra creative control
The lenss 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.

Built to exacting standards
Protective seals guard against dust and moisture and fluorine-coated front and rear elements are easy to clean.

Fast, near silent autofocus
A ring-type USM motor focuses with amazing speed. Make manual adjustments at any time, just by turning the focus ring.
