The EF 16-35mm f/4.0 L IS USM professional wide-angle lens is primarily designed for Canon EOS full frame DSLR cameras. Of course, it can also be used on Canon models with APS-C sensor, but you need to recalculate the focal length to about 26-56 mm. The lens belongs to the L series, which is characterized by its superior performance and increased resistance to dust and moisture. It also has image stabilisation to keep your landscape or architecture shots perfectly sharp.
Use ultrasonic autofocusing from as close as 28cm from the subject. Self focusing is very fast and quiet at the same time. Thanks to the f/4 aperture over the entire focal length range, you don't need to change shutter speed or ISO sensitivity when zooming. The 9-blade aperture ensures a fine blur on the background, while the optical image stabilisation helps to ensure perfect sharpness in low light.
The EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM delivers stable shots in all situations, especially when shooting handheld in low light or in Macro mode. The lens has Canon's built-in 4EV image stabilizer, automatically detects normal shooting or motion tracking and switches to the optimal IS mode for the situation.
The ring ultrasonic motor drives the autofocus extremely quickly and almost silently. Flawless stopping response ensures precise focus without overfocusing. Fully manual sharpening allows you to fine-tune the focus without leaving AF mode.
The 9-blade circular aperture gives out-of-focus areas a softer, more even appearance, so foreground subjects stand out sharply against a beautiful softly blurred background.
The design of the EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM incorporates three aspherical elements to ensure sharpness and clarity of the entire image across the focal length range. Two UD (Ultra Low Dispersion) elements virtually eliminate colour aberrations. The Super Spectra coating ensures accurate colour balance and enhances contrast. It also reduces the appearance of veils and flare - a common problem caused by reflected light from the camera sensor. The fluorine coating prevents dust and water droplets from adhering to the front and rear elements of the lens, helping to ensure optimum image quality.
Canon was founded in 1933. Its original title translated to "portable laboratory optics". The Japanese company has been headquartered in Tokyo since its inception. Canon is particularly associated with the production of digital cameras and accessories, where they remain the leading innovator and producer of imaging solutions. Aside from digital cameras, the company also operates in the production of office equipment, particularly copiers or printers.
