More Information on the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III Lens

Here is a quick update on the upcoming Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III lens. According to recent reports, previously rumored telephoto zoom optic with bright aperture of f/2.8 turned out to be a new COMPACT-SERVO 70-200mm T/4.4.

The rumor mill claims that the upcoming full-frame lens will be a L-grade model. The construction of the lens design is said to be a little bit lighter.

Most L series lenses share a number of common characteristics not found in Canon’s line of lower-end lenses. L lenses tend to be more durable, incorporating dust and water-resistant rubber seals on some models. Few more details of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III Lens
