Classic Canon EF 70-210mm f/4 Telephoto Zoom Lens — Reliable Vintage Performance
The Canon EF 70-210mm f/4 is a timeless telephoto zoom lens, known as Canon’s first autofocus zoom introduced back in 1987. Despite its vintage roots, this lens offers consistent f/4 aperture throughout its zoom range, delivering sharp images with pleasing background compression and bokeh. Its traditional push-pull zoom design with 11 optical elements (including rumored aspherical) ensures good optical performance for stills and video alike. Lightweight and compact at just 578g, it’s a great option for productions looking for classic Canon EF lens performance with the flexibility to cover various focal lengths from medium telephoto to short telephoto.
