Product Description

Product Description

The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens is a high performance, water-resistant, and ultra wide-angle L-series lens. The optical design has been improved to offer better edge-to-edge image quality. In addition, it features 3 high-precision aspherical lens elements, each of a different type: ground, replica and GMo. Improved AF algorithms will help the lens to focus faster and quieter.
All of the "L" lenses deliver optical performance equal to similar fixed focal lengths lenses, and the USM lenses do this with silent, high-speed focusing. Distortions and aberrations are remarkably small for a lens of such amazing capabilities.

Manufacturer's Description

Developed to succeed the high-performance 17-35mm f/2.8L USM, the new EF 16-35mmf/2.8L USM has the leading wide-angle range in its class. Due to the proliferation of digital SLR Cameras that tend to have a smaller frame size when compared to the 35mm, there is a demand for shorter focal length lenses.

This has resulted in the development of the EF 16-35mmf/2.8L USM.

This is the first EF lens to have three types of aspherical elements (ground, replicated and Gmo [glass molded]) which effectively correct the lens aberrations that occur during zooming.

Despite its longer zoom range, the EF16-35mm f/2.8L USM obtains a higher image quality than any other lens in its class.The lens embodies Canon's highest standards of L-series optics, build quality, reliability and operability.

A robust construction includes dust and moisture resistant seals to protect against harsh weather conditions.

A fast f/2.8 aperture delivers impressive low light performance and depth-of-field control. The aperture is fixed over the full focal range, allowing photographers to maintain a constant fast shutter speed when zooming.

A ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor) drives extremely rapid auto focus with near-silent operation. Full time mechanical manual focus override is available without having to switch out of AF.

The lens offers a minimum focusing distance of 0.28m throughout the zoom range. 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 lens coatings suppress flare and ghosting - more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection off the image sensor. Coatings also help maintain accurate color balance and high contrast.

The lens passes distance information back to the camera's E-TTL II flash system for consistently accurate flash metering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8L II USM lens 25 Jun 2011
By Francis Kernow
I have only had this lens for a short time but already I am finding out what a superb lens it is. I have only used it on my 7D so the focal lengths are magnfied by 1.6. The sharpness throughout is exceedingly good particularly at f11. I have found it is also very good as a standin macro lens when used at the 35mm setting (equating to 50mm on the 7D). It is expensive but I think value for money.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this lens! 6 Feb 2012
By Ronannet
I'm slightly obsessed with this lens ever since I bought it. I am really glad I went for this over the 17-40mm as it's not only an amazing landscape lens, I have taken some really great portraits with it. The f/2.8 aperture makes it a great lens to use indoors and paired up with a full frame camera you will love the photo results!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking lens 3 Dec 2012
By esdece
Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought this lens for a trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights, so wanted something fast & wide with good light gathering qualities.

The lens proved its worth and have taken some excellent photos with it.
The day it arrived, (speedy delivery Amazon), I went for a walk around Westminster at lunch time to have a play and was stunned by the sharpness and quality of the images on my 5D.
Only thing I had to get used to was standing to far away from subjects, as this really is a wide lens!

Recommended.
