CANON EF 500 F4 L IS USM - SECOND HAND

Capture distant subjects with professional precision using this second-hand Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM super-telephoto prime lens, renowned for outstanding image quality, bright f/4 aperture, and robust build. Designed for sports, wildlife, and low-light action shooting, it features a large-aperture f/4 design that delivers superb subject isolation and smooth bokeh, and professional-grade optics—incorporating fluorite and UD elements that reduce chromatic aberration and enhance contrast. The built-in image stabilization (IS) provides up to two stops of shake correction, making it practical for handheld shooting in challenging conditions. With full-time manual focus override, ring-type USM autofocus, and Canon’s durable L-series construction (dust & drip-resistant magnesium alloy housing) this lens is built to perform in real-world demanding environments. Given its second-hand status, it offers exceptional value for experienced photographers or enthusiasts looking for high-end reach without the new-price premium—provided you inspect for condition, servicing history, and ensure full mechanical/optical integrity.
