The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens improves upon its predecessor, one of the most acclaimed lenses in the Canon EF line, with superior performance, increased speed and optical quality. This lens is constructed of 23 elements in 19 groups (including 1 Fluorite and 5 UD elements) which help deliver the sharpness and reduced aberration which professional photographers rely upon from Canon. The IS II Optical Image Stabilizer provides up to 4 stops of correction at all focal lengths. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 3.9' (1.2 m) at all zoom settings so you can get the shot when shooting close to your subject even in smaller spaces. Like all Canon L-series lenses, this telephoto zoom is dust- and moisture-resistant and designed to keep on going even in the most challenging of environments.

Zacuto's Z-Finder optical viewfinder is just the tool you'll need for shooting professional video on the Canon 7D, 5D MkII, the Nikon D90, D300s and other DSLRs with 3" LCD screens. Whether shooting handheld or on a tripod, the Z-Finder turns your camera's LCD into a clear, easy-to-focus viewfinder that lets you see your image in magnified detail even under the brightest sunlight. Just as crucially, the Z-Finder provides that extra degree of handling comfort and point of contact--between the camera and your eye--that adds stability to any handheld video. Now in Version 2, this Z-Finder replaces the original Velcro attachment with a flat, stick-on frame that attaches around your camera's LCD screen, which the Z-Finder snaps onto ("z-bands" available upon request for added stability). Along with its sturdy new design, the V2 adds a convenient lanyard hook that lets you keep the Z-Finder around your neck when detached from the camera. *If renting the Z-Finder for use on your own camera, it is required that you buy a mounting frame for $10

The kit comes with all necessary parts, including a removable hand wheel, focus level, and wheel scale.

- Dual-Wheel Compatible
The 203-01 can be fitted with a focus knob on both sides, giving the system added flexibility. No matter what the environment, the camera lens will be fully accessible to the operator.
