EF135mm f/2L USM EF200mm f/2.8L II USM EF300mm f/4L USM EF400mm f/5.
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. The Canon EF135mm f/2L USM, the EF200mm f/2.8L II USM, the EF300mm f/4L USM, and the EF400mm f/5.6L USM are high-performance telephoto lenses designed for EOS cameras. ¡“USM” stands for Ultrasonic Motor. C Features 1. UD lens elements (in the EF135mm f/2L USM, the EF200mm f/2.8L II USM, the EF300mm f/4L USM, and the EF400mm f/5.6L USM) and super UD lens elements (in the EF400mm f/5.6L USM) for excellent imaging performance. 2.
a Safety Precautions a Safety Precautions • Do not look at the sun or a bright light source through the lens or camera. Doing so could result in loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly through the lens is especially hazardous. • Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do not leave the lens under the sun without the lens cap attached. This is to prevent the lens from concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a fire. Handling Cautions C This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens 2. Setting the Focus Mode See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens. ¡After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and electrical contacts from getting scratched. ¡If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have fingerprints on them, corrosion or faulty connections can result. The camera and lens may not operate properly.
3. Switching the Focusing Distance Range 4. Infinity Compensation Mark Infinity compensation mark Distance index Y P O You can choose the focusing distance range with a switch. By setting a suitable focusing distance range, actual autofocusing time can be shorter. ¡EF135mm f/2L USM : q 0.9 m / 3.0 ft. – ∞ w 1.6 m / 5.2 ft. – ∞ ¡EF200mm f/2.8L II USM : q 1.5 m / 4.9 ft. – ∞ w 3.5 m / 11.5 ft. – ∞ ¡EF300mm f/4L USM : q 2.5 m / 8.2 ft. – ∞ w 6 m / 19.7 ft. – ∞ ¡EF400mm f/5.6L USM : q 3.5 m / 11.5 ft.
5. Infrared Index 6. Depth-of-Field Scale (EF200mm f/2.8L II USM • EF300mm f/4L USM • EF400mm f/5.6L USM) Y P O The infrared index corrects the focus setting when using monochrome infrared film. Focus on the subject manually, then adjust the distance setting by moving the focusing ring to the corresponding infrared index mark. C Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared film. See the instructions for your EOS camera.
7. Using the Tripod Mount (EF200mm f/2.8L II USM • EF300mm f/4L USM • EF400mm f/5.6L USM) Adjusting the Revolving Mount You can loosen the orientation lock-knob on the tripod mount to allow it to rotate as needed to fit a particular camera model for switching between vertical and horizontal positions. The EF200mm f/2.8L II USM lens can be used with the A II (B) tripod mount ring, sold separately. Detaching Use the following procedures to remove and attach the tripod mount.
8. Hood The lens hood can reduce unwanted reflections and also protects the front of the lens from rain, snow, dust, and other substances. Y P O EF135mm f/2L USM • EF200mm f/2.8L II USM Attach and align the hood to the hood mount on the front of the lens, and turn the hood as shown by the arrow to secure it. The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage. C EF300mm f/4L USM Bring the hood out from the end of the lens until it stops. For storage, reverse the procedure. EF400mm f/5.
9. Filters (Sold separately) 10. Close-up Lenses (Sold separately) You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front of the lens. ¡If you need a polarizing filter, use the Canon Circular Polarizing Filter. ¡To adjust the polarizing filter, first remove or store the lens hood. C Attaching a 500D Close-up Lens enables closeup photography. The magnification will be as follows: ¡EF135mm f/2L USM (72mm) 0.48× – 0.27× ¡EF200mm f/2.8L II USM (72mm) 0.57× – 0.39× ¡EF300mm f/4L USM (77mm) 0.
. Extension Tubes (Sold separately) You can attach Extension Tube EF12 II or EF25 II for magnified shots. The shooting distance and magnification are shown below.
