Long and Fast
A telephoto lens is essential to any serious photographer. For
sports action, you will need a fast shutter speed and a long focal
length. A large maximum aperture allows a faster shutter speed.
In this telephoto lens line-up, the focal lengths range from 135mm
to 300mm. If you want compactness, choose a lens with a smaller
maximum aperture.

EF 135mm f/2.8 with Softfocus
A unique, compact telephoto lens that
gives the choice of razor-sharp images,
or with the twist of a ring, two degrees of
soft focus. It works by applying "softness
over sharpness," using deliberate
spherical aberration on top of a sharp
"core" image at apertures from f/2.8 thru
5.6; images taken at apertures smaller
than f/5.6 are always sharp. Autofocus
continues to function, with or without
the soft focus in use. This lens is an
ideal addition to a portrait or scenic
photographer's arsenal. A perfect
combination with an EOS Digital SLR,
with the camera enabling review of soft
focus effect on the LCD monitor.

EF 135mm f/2L USM
One of the finest lenses of its type in the
world today. This magnificent telephoto
lens uses two UD-glass elements to
provide incredible sharpness and
contrast, even wide-open. It's perfect
for outdoor portraits, but comes into its
own in low-light situations. It focuses
down to 3 feet (0.9m), and is fully
compatible with both the EF 1.4x II and
2x II tele extenders.
EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM
Lighter by more than 1.2 pounds (545g)
than the 70-200 f/2.8L zoom lens, this
fast telephoto lens is a perfect alternative
for low-light shooting or just reducing
weight in the gadget bag. Two UD-glass
elements and internal rear-group
focusing are among its optical highlights,
and it's fully compatible with Canon's
EF 1.4x II and 2x II tele extenders. A
detachable hood is included, and Tripod
Ring A (B) is available as an accessory.
