Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM

This is the portrait lens of choice for most professionals.  It's an L designated lens, obviously Canon's highest quality optics. Watch any fashion shoot on TV and you're bound to see this lens.  This is also the lens that all wedding photographers dream of.  The Canon 70-200L USM appears in four versions.  1. f/4 non-IS  2. f/4 IS  3. f/2.8 non-IS  4. f/2.8 IS.  This one on sale is the best (and most expensive) of all.  A wide f/2.8 apperture at all focal lenghts, two mode image stabilizer and the blazingly fast ring USM.  The lenght of this pro-spec lens does not change when zooming and does rotate and produces razor sharp images. Everything is done internally.  Metal construction.  It has a tripod collar, lens hood and bag.  It is absolutely brand new.  The price is several thousand rands cheaper than anywhere else. No negotiating.  The picture is of the actual lens and not an internet download.  The lens hood is included. Overnight shipping.
