Canon 500mm F4 II L IS USM EF Lens

Description

The Canon 500mm F4 II L IS USM EF Lens is a super telephoto, high magnification lens with a fast f4 maximum aperture which makes it perfect for wildlife, nature and sports photography. The Canon 500mm F4 is built using a lightweight magnesium alloy and titanium which means the lens is tough and lightweight.

The fast and quiet auto focus on the this lens uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations to drive fast and near silent auto focus and the high speed central processing unit optimises auto focus algorithms which further contribute to a speedy autofocus. Full time manual focus override is available without having to switch away from autofocus. The Canon 500mm F4 Image Stabalisation mode 3, only activates the Image Stabilizer element during exposure which makes the lens ideally suited for all types of action photography where panning is required.

The Canon 500mm f4 lens, has a two speed power focus mode which allows focus to be adjusted smoothly and at a constant speed, which makes it perfect for shooting in video mode. The Fluorite and Ultra Low Dispersion glass elements in the Canon lens help to minimise chromatic aberrations, such as fringing and helps to give crisp, high contrasting images.

Canon’s patented Subwavelength structure coating on the Canon EF 500mm f4 L IS MKII USM lens helps minimise ghosting and flare caused by internal reflections which are created from the digital camera's sensor. The coating reduces reflections and helps to deliver crisp, clear images.
