Deliver Spectacular Image Quality

Canon’s engineers have developed a totally new pair of fixed focal length, wide-angle lenses, an optical re-design to meet the challenges of today’s high-resolution, full-frame digital SLRs.

Image Stabilization

These two lenses have been in the line for over 20 years, but Canon’s total redesign has added an unprecedented development to wide-angle photography — for the first time ever, IMAGE STABILIZATION in a fixed focal length, wide-angle lens!

• This translates to an equivalent effect of 4 stops!

Canon Renowned Optics

Both lenses have been redesigned with improvements in image quality:

• Corner to corner sharpness
• Faster and more precise autofocus
• Full time manual focus
• 7 blade circular aperture
  • Soft backgrounds
• New coatings
  • Minimize ghosting and flare

Lightweight, Compact Design

Their size and light weight adds to their appeal:

• A compact and very unassuming exterior
• Easy to use as a “bag lens” at 10 ounces or less
