Isolate the Interesting Part
The eye tends to see the whole rather than the individual parts. It
also sees what's near and not what's far. By bringing attention to
those things missed by the eye, you can create many interesting
pictures. It could be the grimace of an athlete, the grill of a classic
car, or a girl against a blurred background. Telephoto lenses can
also compress images to give dramatic effects. You are limited only
by your imagination.
EF 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II USM
new
Super-compact and light, this lens is
ideal for digital SLRs – used on the
Digital Rebel, it's equivalent to an
approx. 90-320mm lens. The 13-element
design's new optical coatings are
optimized for digital cameras, it's a
lightweight telephoto that's perfect for
any EOS SLR. It focuses down to under
4 feet (1.2m), and its Micro USM-powered
AF is faster than ever, due to new
electronics within the lens.
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM
For years, the most popular professional
lens in the entire Canon line-up. Superbly
sharp and versatile, its constant f/2.8
maximum aperture makes it a favorite
of photojournalists and low-light
shooters. Four UD-glass elements
contribute to its excellent performance.
Full compatibility with the EF Extenders
1.4x II and 2x II extends its usefulness,
and it's also compatible with the EF
Extension Tubes 12 and 25, and the
77mm Close-up Lens 500D.
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
A spectacular professional lens,
combining the virtues of the legendary
EF 70-200 f/2.8L with the Canon's
newest Image Stabilization technology.
The IS system now offers up to a three-
stop improvement in hand-held ability,
responds faster than ever before, and
functions on a solid tripod. Additional
improvements include faster AF response
and tracking speed, weather-resistant
construction, and the entirely new optical
system focuses even closer (to 4.6 feet/
1.4m) than the non-IS version.
EF 70-200mm f/4L USM
A truly professional L-series telephoto
zoom lens, with reduced size and weight
for applications where portability is
important. Superb optically, it combines
a Fluorite element with two UD-glass
elements for outstanding contrast and
performance. Its ring-type USM is fast,
silent, and permits full-time minimum
focus, as well as the closest MF of any
of the L-series 70-200 designs. It's also
compatible with EF Extenders 1.4x II and
2x II, and accepts an optional accessory
tripod collar.

EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II
The ultimate compact telephoto zoom
lens in the EF system, and a great
choice for travel and other applications
where portability is a priority. It's
especially well-suited for compact SLR
bodies such as the EOS Rebel and Elan
series, and even compact digital EOS
SLRs, with a weight of only 8.8 oz.
(250g). Its optical quality is assured by
a five-group zooming system.

EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM
With the addition of a Micro USM for
faster and even quieter autofocus, this
version of the EF 75-300mm is well-
suited for sports and other applications
requiring fast AF. The USM version
shares the compact size, close focusing
range, and accessory compatibility of
the non-USM lens. For many advanced
amateurs, the 75-300 range is ideal
as a versatile entry into telephoto
photography.
