Images From Your Imagination, Delivered by Canon EF Lenses

Ever noticed that “imagination” contains the word “image”? That’s because creating an image starts with your imagination. When you have an image in mind, you must choose a lens which can capture that image. And whatever that image may be, you can be sure that Canon has the lens you need. Whether it is a 15mm fisheye or a 1200mm super telephoto, all Canon EF lenses feature the finest materials (especially the L-series lenses) and technologies. They include Fluorite, UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass, Aspherical lenses, lensbased Ultrasonic Motors, inner and rear focusing, Image Stabilizer, Diffractive Optics, and a fully-electronic interface. Only the variety and versatility of EF lenses can match your wondrous imagination.

Getting Everything In

If your mind’s eye calls for a very wide shot, how about one of the three ultra-wide zoom lenses? The zoom range of these lenses suits the vast majority of wide-angle shots you will ever take. Or, try a standard zoom lens with a focal length from wide to telephoto to get the most out of your camera.

EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM

EF 17-40mm f/4L USM

EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

A superb lens that covers nearly every professional wide-angle task. Outstanding optical performance comes from three Aspherical lens elements, and (for the first time ever in an EF wide-angle zoom lens) two Ultra-low Dispersion UD elements. Weatherresistant construction, a rear gel filter holder, close-focusing to 11 inches (0.28m), and a circular diaphragm are among its many highlights.

About half the price of the 16-35 f/2.8 lens, this L-series lens has an entirely new optical design with three Aspherical elements and a Super UD-glass element. The combination provides superb contrast and sharpness, even at the widest settings. It’s ideal for both film and digital SLRs, and features the same weather-resistant design, rear gel filter holder, and high-speed Ultrasonic Motor as the EF 16-35mm lens.

A superior performance ultra-wide- angle zoom lens, covering the entire range of popular wide-angle focal lengths. A ring-type USM and an inner focus design provide fast and silent AF, along with full-time manual focus override. Priced within the range of serious photo enthusiasts, it’s a great all-around choice.

STANDARD ZOOM LENSES

EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 II

An excellent all-around zoom lens that covers the range from ultra-wide-angle to true portrait-length telephoto. Its solid construction, fast USM autofocus and smooth operation are matched by its excellent optical quality. This compact lens is an ideal choice for shooters who want wider coverage than provided by most standard zooms. The extra-wide coverage also makes it a great standard zoom for digital SLRs.

For many EOS users, this is their first EF lens. Light, compact and affordable, it covers a practical range of focal lengths

— ideal for almost everything from family snapshots and travel to event photography. A lightweight DC-focusing motor provides brisk autofocus, as close as 1.3 feet (0.38m), enough to fill the frame with a subject about the size of a postcard.

EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM

EF 28-105mm f/4-5.6 USM

EF 28-135mmf/3.5-5.6 IS USM

Super-light and compact like its predecessor, but now with even faster AF due to new internal electronics and a faster lens CPU. It’s optically unchanged, which is a good thing — images are sharp and crisp throughout the zoom range, and the Micro USM provides quick and ultra-quiet AF. It’s an ideal standard lens, and one of the most popular in the entire EOS system.

This lens is an outstanding choice as a standard zoom for advanced photographers looking for durability and performance. It has the same optical formula (and quality) as the

previous highly-regarded EF 28-105mm USM lens, but with a refined exterior appearance. Its ring-type USM gives the silent and fast autofocus that EOS users expect, along with full-time manual focusing capability — even when in the AF mode.

This incredible lens is the smallest and lightest in its class. It’s totally new optically, with an Aspherical element to keep the quality up and the size down. Even more noteworthy is an entirely new Micro USM, that’s about half the length of previous designs — with the same focusing power and performance. Features like circular diaphragm blades (for natural backgrounds) and internal focusing (the front element never rotates) round out this great new lens.

An unbeatable combination of zoom range, silent and fast USM autofocus, excellent optics and Canon’s Image Stabilization technology. IS allows steady hand-held operation at shutter speeds up to two full stops slower than would normally be possible, and makes this a practical lens even in low-light situations. It’s one of the most versatile lens choices in the entire EF line-up for the advanced EOS photographer.

EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM

EF 35-80mm f/4-5.6 III

The ultimate all-in-one zoom lens, and one of the world’s closest-focusing 28-200mm zooms with internal focusing down to 17.7 inches (0.45m) at all focal lengths. Canon’s Micro USM provides the quick and quiet AF, and sixteen optical elements (with two Aspheric elements) provide the highest optical quality in its class. A brilliant choice when you need one zoom lens to perform many different tasks.

The most affordable zoom lens in the entire EF lens system. Light and ultracompact, this lens isn’t lacking for optical performance — it has an Aspherical lens element for better optical quality, and its close-focusing allows filling the frame with a subject the size of a postcard at its 80mm focal length. It’s a great entry into SLR photography and the EOS system.

Isolate the Interesting Part

The eye tends to see the whole rather than the individual parts. It also sees what’s near and not what’s far. By bringing attention to those things missed by the eye, you can create many interesting pictures. It could be the grimace of an athlete, the grill of a classic car, or a girl against a blurred background. Telephoto lenses can also compress images to give dramatic effects. You are limited only by your imagination.

Super-compact and light, this ideal for digital SLRs – used on Digital Rebel, it’s equivalent to

approx. 90-320mm lens. The 13-element design’s new optical coatings optimized for digital cameras, lightweight telephoto that’s

any EOS SLR. It focuses down to 4 feet (1.2m), and its Micro USMAF is faster than ever, due to new electronics within the lens.

A spectacular professional lens, combining the virtues of the legendary EF 70-200 f/2.8L with the Canon’s newest Image Stabilization technology. The IS system now offers up to a threestop improvement in hand-held ability, responds faster than ever before, and functions on a solid tripod. Additional improvements include faster AF response and tracking speed, weather-resistant construction, and the entirely new optical system focuses even closer (to 4.6 feet/ 1.4m) than the non-IS version.

EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM

For years, the most popular professional lens in the entire Canon line-up. Superbly sharp and versatile, its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture makes it a favorite of photojournalists and low-light shooters. Four UD-glass elements contribute to its excellent performance. Full compatibility with the EF Extenders 1.4x II and 2x II extends its usefulness, and it’s also compatible with the EF Extension Tubes 12 and 25, and the 77mm Close-up Lens 500D.

A truly professional L-series telephoto zoom lens, with reduced size and weight for applications where portability is important. Superb optically, it combines a Fluorite element with two UD-glass elements for outstanding contrast and performance. Its ring-type USM is fast, silent, and permits full-time minimum focus, as well as the closest MF of any of the L-series 70-200 designs. It’s also compatible with EF Extenders 1.4x II and 2x II, and accepts an optional accessory tripod collar.

The ultimate compact telephoto zoom lens in the EF system, and a great choice for travel and other applications where portability is a priority. It’s especially well-suited for compact SLR bodies such as the EOS Rebel and Elan series, and even compact digital EOS SLRs, with a weight of only 8.8 oz. (250g). Its optical quality is assured by a five-group zooming system.

With the addition of a Micro USM for faster and even quieter autofocus, this version of the EF 75-300mm is wellsuited for sports and other applications requiring fast AF. The USM version shares the compact size, close focusing range, and accessory compatibility of the non-USM lens. For many advanced amateurs, the 75-300 range is ideal

as a versatile entry into telephoto photography.

EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L USM

A unique professional L-series lens, covering an amazing 10x zoom range from wide-angle to super-telephoto. It’s a magnificent choice for travel photography and other outdoor applications. The zoom control has a separate ring to adjust or lock the zooming action, enhancing its already excellent handling. The 21element optical formula includes two UD-glass elements, and at its 135mm zoom setting, close-focusing to two feet (0.6m) is possible.

EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM

The most affordable of Canon’s long telephoto zooms, this lens is excellent for subjects from portraits to wildlife and nature. It shares the same 13-element optical system as the 75-300mm USM lens, but uses a DC motor for autofocus. Close-focusing down to 4.9 feet (1.5m) allows filling the frame (at 300mm) with a subject the size of a dollar bill, and it’s compatible with the Canon 58mm Close-up lens 500D for even more spectacular shots of small objects.

A significant lens in the history of Canon optics, this was the first SLR lens in the world to offer Image Stabilization — providing up to two stops of improvement in hand-held capability at slow shutter speeds. Its 15-element optical formula is unique, but it offers capabilities similar to Canon’s 75-300 versions without IS. Image Stabilization gives this lens amazing real-world sharpness in many situations, and is especially advantageous when combined with lightweight camera bodies.

This affordable and lightweight zoom differs from the 75-300mm models with its higher-performance ring-type Ultrasonic focusing motor and superior AF speed. It also uses rear group focusing, so the front elements never rotate during focusing, and adds fulltime manual focusing capability. It’s excellent not just for outdoor sports, but any subjects requiring the versatility of a telephoto zoom.

A truly professional L-series telephoto zoom lens with Image Stabilization, making hand-holding practical even at its 400mm focal length. Both a Fluorite and a Super UD-glass element ensure outstanding contrast and sharpness, and it accepts the EF Extenders 1.4x II and 2x II. A ring-type USM makes AF fast and silent down to 5.9 feet (1.8m), and of course it offers full-time manual focus override. This durable L-series lens is regarded by many pros as one of the world’s finest telephoto zooms for hand-held outdoor use.
