Quick Overview

This very mobile 500mm super telephoto lens has the double attraction of an original Image Stabilizing mechanism and a bright large aperture of f/4. Its newly designed optical system consists of 17 elements in 13 groups, including one fluorite lens element and two UD lens elements. These have aliminated virtually all aberrations to achieve a level of image quality previously impossible to attain with such high constrast and sharpness. With a ring-type USM and an improved drive algorithm, its autofocus is the fastest in the world*1. The lens's closest focusing distance has been reduced to only 4.5m/14.8ft., and it is equipped with full-time mechanical manual focusing, focus preset, and an AF Stop function. The use of a magnesium alloy for the lens barrel minimizes weight and the lens offers superior dust-proof and drip-proof*2 performance. The large f/4 aperture permits the use of autofocus when using an extender. Image Stabilization is even more effective when combined with a unipod, making shooting even more accurate.

*1 Bodies: EOS 1Ds Mark III, EOS 1Ds Mark II, EOS 1Ds, EOS 1D Mark III, EOS 1D Mark II N, EOS 1D Mark II, EOS 1D, EOS 1V/HS, EOS 3 (all when using rechargeable battery pack)

- The extension Tube EF25 II can be used with all lenses except the EF15mm f/2.8 Fisheye, EF14mm f/2.8L USM, EF20mm f/2.8 USm, EF24mm f/1.4L USM, EF16-35mm f/2.8L USM at wide angles, EF17-40mm f/4L USM at wide angles, EF20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM at wide angles, EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM at wide angles, EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM at wide angles, Ef28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM at wide angles, MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo, and TS-E 45mm f/2.8, EF-S10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM at wide angles, EF-S17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM at wide angles, EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II USM at wide angles and EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II at wide angles. (We do not recommend use of the Extension Tube EF25II with EF-s10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM at near the tele end EF-S17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM at near the tele end, since it radically reduces working distance.)
