Two new L-series lenses

Sharing the widest aperture of any lens in Canon’s current EF range, the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM offers extremely fine control over depth of field and consummate low available light performance. It is expected to be popular amongst wedding and portrait photographers, as well as professional photojournalists. Endowed with Canon’s latest AF technologies, the lens embodies the brand’s reputation for superior response high-speed auto focus, while a circular aperture produces beautifully even background blur. The lens will be available in late September 2006 at a UK price of £1149.99.

The EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM is Canon’s first interchangeable lens with a 4 stop Image Stabilizer. This allows hand held photography with no perceptible image blur at shutter speeds up to 4 steps slower than otherwise possible - ideal for low light shooting without tripod or flash. Dust and moisture resistant, compact, manoeuvrable, and incorporating Canon’s finest standards of precision optics, Canon’s latest professional L-series lens is expected to be popular for travel, expedition and wildlife assignments where there is a requirement to travel light without compromising image quality. The lens will be available in late September 2006 at a UK price of £989.99.
