70-200mm	$1,432 average price

(From Canon lens literature) The new Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM features numerous updates over its predecessor, making it an ideal lens for advanced amateur photographers using Canon DSLR cameras such as the EOS 6D Mark II or EOS 80D. Most notably, Optical Image Stabilization is upgraded from three stops to five shutter speed stops¹ of correction over the original f/4 lens. The improved IS allows photographers to more easily capture crisp, in-focus images without the use of a tripod. The new lens also features three IS modes, each uniquely designed and suitable for a variety of shooting situations, such as the capture of still subjects, panning or fast moving objects². Furthermore, the IS operational noise has been reduced, which proves ideal for photographers shooting in a concert hall or on-stage shooting at the theatre.

Additional noteworthy features of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM include:

• One fluorite lens and two UD lenses helps to provide high-image quality
• Minimum focusing distance shortened from 1.2m to 1m (3.9ft to 3.3ft)
• Super Spectra Coating technology and optimized lens element placement helps minimize ghosting and flaring
• Circular nine blade aperture producing a beautiful bokeh quality, ideal for portrait shooting
• Lens features 20 lens elements in 15 groups
• Fluorine coating on front and rear elements helps to reduce smears and fingerprints
• Inner focusing system with Ring Ultrasonic Motor

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II is scheduled to begin shipping in late June 2018 with an estimated retail price of $1,299.00.
