See a Different Dimension
SUPER TELEPHOTO LENSES
A super telephoto lens can make an ordinary scene into an extraordinary one. Its ability to see surpasses that of the human eye. It can compress images and make them look as if they come from another dimension. It opens up new realms of photographic expression. All EF super telephoto lenses are L-series lenses to provide the highest quality. The USM provides quiet and high-speed autofocusing. These lenses promise outstanding delineation and put your imagination to the test.

Virtually the standard lens for many professional sports shooters, this optical powerhouse is ideal for any film or digital application where you need telephoto power and low-light capability. With one Fluorite element and two UD- glass elements, it’s one lens you won’t need to stop down to get a good image. The Image Stabilization only adds to its all-around abilities. Details include a network of weather-resistant seals and gaskets, and a focus preset that enables instant return to a memorized focusing distance.
Light. Portable. Excellent handling. Sharp. And amazingly fast autofocus. The 400mm f/5.6L is all of these things, and a premier choice for wildlife and nature photographers — one of the finest telephoto lenses in the world for fast-moving subjects such as birds in flight or motor sports. It uses UD-glass elements to provide outstanding optical quality, even wide-open, and image quality is preserved when used with either the EF 1.4x II or EF 2x II tele extenders. It accepts 77mm filters, and has a built-in removable tripod collar.
Always a favorite of motor sports, wildlife and nature shooters, the relatively lightweight 500mm lens now adds Image Stabilization for an unbeatable package of handling and sharpness. Fluorite and UD-glass — a combination available from no other lens manufacturer — provide great performance, even with the EF 1.4x II or 2x II tele extender attached. It focuses down to less than 15 feet (4.5m), and offers the same weather-resistant design and incredible AF speed as its 300mm, 400mm and 600mm siblings.
World’s First Diffractive Optics Lens for Photography
EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM
An entirely new optical technology for SLR camera lenses, Multi-Layer Diffractive Optics, makes possible a 400mm super-telephoto lens that’s about 1/3rd shorter and significantly lighter. Diffractive Optics don’t end there — combined with a small Fluorite

element, they permit almost total elimination of chromatic aberrations, and at the same time are able to combat spherical aberrations. Combining portability and easy handling, Image Stabilization, weather-resistant construction, superb optics and incredible AF performance, the 400mm DO IS lens is ideal for photographers who want super-telephoto power along with good lens speed in a hand-holdable package.
