Optical Design
One ultra-low dispersion element and two aspherical elements help produce excellent image quality while minimizing chromatic aberrations.

To prevent ghosting and flare considerably, Canon has applied ASC (Air Sphere Coating), SSC (Super Spectra Coating), and Fluorine coatings to this lens.

Additional Lens Benefits
  • A custom function button can be programmed to your preferred setting, which saves you time and makes it easier to make an adjustment while capturing.
  • 14 elements in 11 groups including one UD element and two aspherical elements for excellent image quality.
  • 15.7" minimum focus distance benefits taking close-up shots.
  • 67mm filter thread for wide compatibility.
Note:
Lens profile corrections, available in the camera and in many editing programs, are highly recommended to achieve optimal results when using this lens.
