EF 600mm f/4L IS USM
An outstanding professional lens for
bridging distances in sports, wildlife,
and many other applications — including
commercial and fashion for the distinct
“compressed” telephoto character and
totally out-of-focus backgrounds its
images can possess. Fluorite and UD-
glass are combined for incredible
image quality, even wide-open. Image
Stabilization adds a new dimension
in this long lens’ usefulness, even in
marginal lighting. It works beautifully
with both 1.4x II and 2x II extenders,
and now focuses as close as 17.5 feet/
5.4 m. It has the same weather-resistant
gaskets and sealed focusing and focus
pre-set rings as Canon’s other Image
Stabilized super-telephoto lenses.
Extender EF 1.4x II
A powerful addition to any serious
photographer’s arsenal, this compact
extender is compatible with every fixed
focal length L-series lens 135mm and
over, as well as the 70-200/2.8L, 70-200/
2.8L IS, 70-200/4L, and 100-400/4.5-
5.6L IS lenses. It multiplies the lens’
marked focal length 1.4 times, with a light
loss of only one stop. Most impressively,
its superior optics preserve the lens’
inherent image quality. New with the
version II extender are improved internal
anti-reflective blackening, and enhanced
weather resistance.
Extender EF 2x II
A totally new 7-element optical design
for this version II extender means superior
image quality combined with a doubling
of the lens’ marked focal length (with a
two-stop reduction in effective aperture).
Compatible with the same lenses as the
1.4x II extender, the EF 2x II still allows
autofocus with any EOS body when used
with a lens f/2.8 or faster. It shares the
improved anti-reflection internal design
and weather-resistant exterior, including
seals at its front and rear lens mounts
matching those on Canon’s newest
professional lenses and camera bodies.
