When you need to get really close, the magnification of this 600mm super-telephoto lens puts you right in the centre of the action – ideal for those shooting sports, action or wildlife. Image quality is simply sublime thanks to an advanced optical design that makes use of cutting-edge optical materials. An f/4 maximum aperture lets you isolate pin-sharp subjects against a smooth out-of-focus background. Tracking fast moving objects, from athletes to birds in flight, is easy thanks to the lens’s advanced AF system, which features a ring-type USM motor and Power Doubled Focus Drive that increases focusing speed. A 5.5-stop IS system protects against camera shake¹ and tough L-series build means robust handling and resistance to dust and moisture.
