  • Capture intricate detail with the 4-stop Image Stabilizer

    The 4-stop Image Stabilizer is your tool to counteract image blur during handheld shooting, ensuring your subject is front and centre.

  • Aspherical, Fluorite, UD and Super-UD Elements

    This ideal wildlife and sports photography lens boasts Fluorite, UD and Super UD elements and aspherical elements to correct spherical aberrations.

Magnesium alloy build delivers durability and reliability

This fully weather sealed lens is tough enough to stand up to the rigour of full-time professional use and compact enough for limited hand-held shots.

  • Ultrasonic focusing ensures always detailed close-ups

    Close-up auto focus is a breeze. AI Servo tracking accuracy beelines the action and ring-type ultrasonic motor drives fast autofocus in whisper silence.

  • Bring colours to life with super spectra coating

    Every single shot will be a true masterpiece with accurate colour balance and high contrast while light is absorbed to alleviate flare and ghosting.
