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.

ULTRA-WIDE ZOOM LENSES

EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

A superior performance ultra-wideangle 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.

●

Aspherical lens●UD lens

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

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.

EF 17-40mm f/4L USM

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.

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

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.

EF 28-105mm f/4-5.6 USM

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.

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.

EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM

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 70-200mm f/2.8L 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.
