Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM

Description:

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens improves upon its predecessor, one of the most acclaimed lenses in the Canon EF line, with superior performance, increased speed and optical quality.

This lens is constructed of 23 elements in 19 groups (including 1 Fluorite and 5 UD elements) which help deliver the sharpness and reduced aberration which professional photographers rely upon from Canon. The IS II Optical Image Stabilizer provides up to 4 stops of correction at all focal lengths.

This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 3.9' (1.2 m) at all zoom settings so you can get the shot when shooting close to your subject even in smaller spaces. Like all Canon L-series lenses, this telephoto zoom is dust- and moisture-resistant and designed to keep on going even in the most challenging of environments.

Those look great, Stephen! I've never gone to ISO 5000 on my 7D.

Thanks John! As long as you expose to the right the 7D can make miracles happen. These were shot L-High Compressed JPEG. No noise reduction applied.

Here are a few more from the shoot.

All shot on 7D F2.8 ISO 5000 1/500.

More nice ones.

I shot some birds at 4000 yesterday, and they came out quite well. Had to do just a little NR in LR afterward, but you can't tell it. Quite impressed!
