The wide zoom range of the EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 makes this a perfect lens for many situations. Its sixteen-element design includes two aspherical elements, and it focuses as close as 17.7" throughout the entire zoom range. Inner focusing means the front section doesn't rotate, a real benefit to photographers who use filters.
Inner focusing with non-rotating front.
Close focusing to 17.7 inches, at all focal lengths.
Fast and quiet AF is provided by Canon's exclusive micro USM motor.
