Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras



Features:

  • EF mount; telephoto lens
  • Inner focusing; full-time manual focus
  • 85mm focal length
  • f/1.8 maximum aperture
  • Ring-type UltraSonic Motor (USM)

From the Manufacturer
A highly practical medium telephoto lens with superb delineation and portability. Images are sharp and clear at all apertures. Through computer simulations, the lens has been designed to give beautiful background blur. Since the front lens group does not rotate during focusing special filter effects are not affected.

Sharp. Lightweight. Responsive. These are just a few adjectives that describe this terrific portrait-length telephoto lens. With a powerful ring-type USM and fast f/1.8 aperture, subjects zip into focus in the viewfinder. It’s great for all types of work calling for moderate telephoto power, but comes into its own in low-light situations, and offers a 1/3-stop speed advantage over the 100mm f/2 USM lens.

A medium telephoto lens with a large aperture brings the subject closer, creates excellent background blur, gives a longer flash range, and affords a faster shutter speed to freeze the action. A standard zoom lens, with its natural angle of view and perspective, captures the subject plainly, with no special effects. However, you can use standard lenses in creative ways by varying the subject distance, aperture, and angle.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras



The fastest telephoto lens in the entire Canon EF line-up, and the world’s fastest 85mm autofocus lens. This exquisite professional lens is obviously popular for its available-light capabilities, but its proven performance makes it ideal for portraits, fashion and even sports. Two Aspherical elements provide thorough correction of spherical aberrations. A ring-type USM means silent AF from 3ft./0.9m to infinity, and full-time electronic manual focusing is also available.

Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 with Softfocus Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras


 

Features:

  • EF mount; telephoto lens
  • Internal focusing; aspherical lens
  • 135mm focal length
  • f/2.8 maximum aperture
  • Rear focusing system with Autofocus drive

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.

Canon EF 70mm-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras



Product Description
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. Incorporating Canon's second generation Image Stabilization technology, this telephoto zoom responds in as little at 0.5 seconds, while providing up to three stops of correction for camera shake. Its AF system has been refined for better response time and tracking speed. And even the new 8-blade circular aperture offers a more pleasing out-of-focus image. Constructed to pro standards, this fast zoom is also highly resistant to dust and moisture, too.

Features:

  • EF mount; telephoto zoom lens
  • Ultra-low Dispersion glass; image stabilizer; inner focusing; full-time manual focus; circular aperture
  • 70-200mm focal length
  • f/2.8 constant maximum aperture
  • Micro UltraSonic Motor (USM)

NIKON 70-200MM f/2.8D G-AFS ED-IF Autofocus Lens

  • Minimizes image blur, in effect providing the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed 3 stop (8 times) faster
  • Presents a natural viewfinder image even during VR operation
  • Automatically detects when the photographer pans
  • Perfect for candid, portrait, sports and news photography
  • Optical design incorporates 5 ED glass elements for superior optical performance throughout the zoom range

Product Description
The AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens is designed with professional and advanced amateur photographers in mind, offering them a truly compact and lightweight telephoto zoom lens featuring some of Nikon's most innovative technologies. With Nikon's advanced Vibration Reduction technology, this new lens will enable photographers to make crisp, sharp pictures by minimizing the blur caused by hand holding a camera at slow shutter speeds and by potential shaking when the photographer is in a moving vehicle, aircraft or any other moving platform that induces vibration. In addition to Vibration Reduction, the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens includes a selection of Nikon advanced technologies such as Manual/Automatic mode, Extra Low Dispersion glass (ED), Silent Wave Motor Technology (SWM) and G-Type design (aperture control exclusively from camera body). Offered exclusively in Nikon's AF-S optics, the Manual Automatic mode (M/A) allows for instant switching between autofocus and manual focus, virtually eliminating lag time in the transition and enabling photographers to make a last minute adjustment, even if the autofocus system has locked onto the subject. This performance is complimented by Nikon's Autofocus Tracking with Lock-on(R), a technology that will enable the system to maintain sharp focus even if the subject is momentarily obscured from view, or if the camera's AF sensor momentarily moves off the main subject.
