Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM lens

Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM

The Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM is a budget-oriented version of the 2.8 glass. Let's face it, f/4 is a pretty good aperture for cinema cameras while keeping the size of the lens human. It's a versatile universal zoom for Canon SLRs. It is suitable for every situation. The USM focusing motor provides very fast and silent focusing that works well for stills as well as video. In addition, the lens has a powerful vibration dampening system to aid in video and still photography.

We think the lens is at its best when used for travel and in good light.

Two ultra-low dispersion elements radically reduce aberrations throughout the zoom range, producing sharp and well-coloured images. Super Spectra coating reduces reflections and haze, making the image more contrasty. Spherical aberrations and similar optical blemishes are destroyed by three aspherical elements.

The optical expertise is complemented by a four aperture image stabilizer that reduces blur caused by camera movement. A ring-type USM and an internal focusing mechanism bring fast, quiet and accurate autofocus performance and full-time manual focus override. In addition, the lens is weatherproof, and the front element has a fluorine coating that repels dirt and grease.

Although the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM is designed for Canon's EF bayonet cinema size cameras, it also works on APS-C models where it produces an image equivalent to the 25.6-56mm focal length.
