Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L-Series USM Wide-Angle Lens
This new lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done - replace the previous L-series 28-70 f/2.8 lens with something even better. Extended coverage to an ultra-wide-angle 24mm makes it ideal for digital as well as film shooters, and the optics are even better than before with two Aspherical elements and a totally new UD glass element. It's now sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture, and a new processing unit makes the AF faster than ever.
Key Features:
L-Series Designation
Canon's legendary L-Series line-up signifies ultimate build quality. Using Canon's finest optics for sharpness, these lenses also have faster focusing motors, better Image Stabilizers and are built to be used day in day out for many years.
Durability
High performance, water-resistant and dust resistent internal seals.
Super Fast f/2.8 Aperture
Ultra-large aperture for a narrow depth of field, soft background blur and excellent low-light image quality.
2 High-Precision Aspherical Elements
By using 2 asperical elements, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens combats chromatic aberration.
1 Ultra Low Dispersion Element (UD)
Using 1 UD glass element the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens has improved edge to edge sharpness.
Ultra Sonic Motor (USM) and M/A Focus
