The Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM is a professional-grade telephoto zoom covering the classic 70-200mm range with a constant f/4 aperture. Released in 2018 as the second-generation update, it adds five stops of image stabilisation and improved optical performance over the original 2006 model.

Best for
Well-regarded as a lighter, sharper alternative to the f/2.8 version, the f/4L IS II is a favourite among landscape and wildlife photographers who prioritise portability without sacrificing L-series build quality or constant aperture. Fully compatible with Canon EF-mount full-frame and APS-C DSLRs, and with Canon RF-mount mirrorless bodies via the EF-EOS R adapter.
Frequently asked questions
How does it compare to the f/2.8 version?
Same focal range, one stop slower aperture (f/4 vs f/2.8), about half the weight, and in the IS II version an extra stop of stabilisation (5 stops vs 4). Optically very sharp - often preferred by landscape and wildlife photographers who value portability.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
Yes — up to 5 stops (IS II).
Will it work on Canon RF mirrorless bodies?
Yes, via the Canon EF-EOS R adapter. Autofocus and IS are preserved, and the lens functions normally on R, R5, R6, R7, R8, R50 and other RF bodies.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
