Product Highlights
Redesigned Fluorite Optics
Less Chromatic Aberration
Magnesium/Titanium for Lighter Weight
3 IS Modes for 4-Stop Advantage
Smooth Focus Change for Video
Redesigned, Intuitive Buttons/SwitchesOverview
Succeeding the widely-respected Canon 500mm F/4L IS USM, the new Canon 500mm F/4L IS II USM lens is being developed for photographers who require high performance, fast aperture and a longer focal length. The redesigned, lightweight lens body will provide added mobility alongside enhanced protection against dust and water, making it ideal for the toughest shooting conditions.
First and foremost, image sharpness has been enhanced with completely redesigned fluorite optics that deliver reduced chromatic aberration. The lighter weight (1.5 lbs lighter due to magnesium and titanium construction elements) is always welcome in large telephoto lenses. Using 3 IS (Image Stabilization) modes allows you to shoot at shutter speeds 4 stops slower, and the advanced third IS mode activates only when the shutter button is fully pressed, so you can pan with fast-moving subjects without the IS function interfering with composition and framing.
Buttons and switches have been redesigned to give you more intuitive operation, and dust and water sealing keeps the lens functioning even in less than ideal conditions. A Power Focus mode allows smooth focus change while shooting video.
