Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM

Detailed Features

• L-series quality

  The L-series is Canon's flagship professional lens range, representing the best in precision-designed EF optics. L-series lenses combine superior performance with superlative handling, and are resistant to dust and moisture.

• Constant f/2.8 aperture

  A fast f/2.8 maximum aperture stays constant over the full focal-length range, meaning no variation in shutter speed will occur when zooming.

• Ultrasonic focusing

  A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near silence. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is reached accurately, without overshooting. Furthermore, full-time manual override is available, making it possible to adjust focus without leaving AF mode.

• Smooth background blur

  A virtually circular aperture diaphragm gives out of focus regions a softer, more uniform feel. Sharp foreground objects stand out against a smooth blurred background.

• UD and aspherical elements

  The EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM incorporates three aspherical elements to ensure corner-to-corner sharpness and clarity throughout the focal range. Two UD (Ultra Low Dispersion) elements virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations.

• Super Spectra coating

  Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate colour balance and enhance contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting – a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor.

• Integration with E-TTL II flash metering

  Ensures optimal flash metering by passing distance information back to a compatible EOS camera's E-TTL II flash system.

• Accessories

  The EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens comes supplied with a lens hood and soft case.
