Long and Fast

A telephoto lens is essential to any serious photographer. For sports action, you will need a fast shutter speed and a long focal length. A large maximum aperture allows a faster shutter speed. In this telephoto lens line-up, the focal lengths range from 135mm to 300mm. If you want compactness, choose a lens with a smaller maximum aperture.

TELEPHOTO LENSES

EF 135mm f/2L USM

One of the finest lenses of its type in the world today. This magnificent telephoto lens uses two UD-glass elements to provide incredible sharpness and contrast, even wide-open. It’s perfect for outdoor portraits, but comes into its own in low-light situations. It focuses down to 3 feet (0.9m), and is fully compatible with both the EF 1.4x II and 2x II tele extenders.

•Soft level: 2

•Soft level: 0

A unique, compact telephoto lens that gives the choice of razor-sharp images, or with the twist of a ring, two degrees of soft focus. It works by applying “softness over sharpness,” using deliberate spherical aberration on top of a sharp “core” image at apertures from f/2.8 thru 5.6; images taken at apertures smaller than f/5.6 are always sharp. Autofocus continues to function, with or without the soft focus in use. This lens is an ideal addition to a portrait or scenic photographer’s arsenal. A perfect combination with an EOS Digital SLR, with the camera enabling review of soft focus effect on the LCD monitor.

Lighter by more than 1.2 pounds (545g) than the 70-200 f/2.8L zoom lens, this fast telephoto lens is a perfect alternative for low-light shooting or just reducing weight in the gadget bag. Two UD-glass elements and internal rear-group focusing are among its optical highlights, and it’s fully compatible with Canon’s EF 1.4x II and 2x II tele extenders. A detachable hood is included, and Tripod Ring A (B) is available as an accessory.
