Recommended Applications

*Recommendations are based only on the features necessary to perform the application successfully and do not take into account the relative image quality of different lenses

Landscapes

Wide expanses and panoramas can be captured with this focal length. For this application aperture settings will usually vary from f5.6 and smaller and cameras will usually be tripod mounted.

Technologies

Aspherical Lenses

Canon’s aspherical lens elements converges central and peripheral light rays at a single focal point to ensure uniform sharpness and clarity over the whole image area. Now found in almost every EF lens, aspherical lens elements are particularly useful for large-aperture lenses, wide-angle lenses and high quality compact zoom lenses.

UD Lenses

UD (Ultra Low Dispersion) lens elements incorporate low-dispersion optical glass which minimizes distortion and chromatic aberration.

Super Spectra Coating

Canon's multi layer Super Spectra coating allows up to 99.9% of light through to the CMOS sensor, over a range that extends from ultra violet to near-infrared light. As well as minimising ghosting and flare, Super Spectra Coating ensures a consistent colour balance across all EF lenses and plays a key part in delivering the sharp, high-contrast results that Canon lenses are renowned for.

Ultrasonic Motor (USM)

Canon's Ultrasonic Motor (USM) is a lens-based motor to harness ultrasonic oscillation energy. This technology makes focusing precise, virtually noiseless and incredibly quick – some lenses focusing literally faster than the human eye. The USM starts instantaneously and stops the moment focus is achieved, with no overshooting. What's more, the USM requires minimal battery power so you can shoot for longer on a single charge.
