The Canon 500mm f/4L IS II is a premium supertelephoto lens designed for Canon EF mount cameras. Key features include:
Increased image sharpness and reduced chromatic aberration
Improved 4-stop, 3-mode image stabilization
Electronic “power” focus
20% lighter than predecessor
The Canon 500mm f/4L IS II is the updated version of the highly popular Canon 500mm f/4L IS. It offers increased image sharpness and reduced chromatic aberration thanks to its redesigned fluorite optics.
It features an improved 4-stop image-stabilization system with an IS mode that only activates when you fully press the shutter button (useful for panning with fast-moving subjects). Additionally, it gains Canon’s Power Focus mode which serves as an electronic follow focus.
Canon has managed to shed 1.5 lbs from the 500mm f/4L IS II, while improving dust and water sealing, and repositioning buttons and switches for improved ergonomics and operation.
Our lenses do not come with a tripod plate, please rent one here if you need one.
PLEASE NOTE:
Unlike our other lenses, the super telephoto lenses will be shipped in soft cases which can be used to transport the lens during your rental period.
