Released on 8/20/07, this updated lens features completely redesigned optics including 2 high-precision Aspherical elements and two totally new UD-glass elements. The result is superior image quality: better contrast and sharpness at the outer edges, and a reduction in chromatic aberrations that can sometimes be seen with high-resolution digital SLRs.

The improved Canon EF 16-35mm II model has arrived. Featuring 3 high-precision aspherical lens elements, each of a different type: ground, replica and GMo providing better edge-to-edge image quality. The circular aperture produces a beautiful and natural background blur at wider apertures. Also featuring internal focusing, a ring type USM, and new AF algorithms for fast and quiet auto-focusing.

Professional wide-angle lens with an ultra-large maximum aperture of f/1.4. This is the first EF lens to employ both a replicated aspherical lens element to suppress distortion and spherical aberration, and a UD lens element to correct lateral chromatic aberration. Thanks to the floating construction, excellent corner-to-corner delineation is attained from 10 in. to infinity.

Coverage to an ultra-wide-angle 24mm makes it ideal for digital as well as film shooters. Improved optics are better than previous versions with two aspherical elements and a totally new UD glass element. It's sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture, and boasts an AF faster than ever.

A handy, compact zoom lens for versatile and easy subject selection while traveling, etc. The highest optical performance in its class, plus the convenience of focusing as close as 2.3 feet over the entire zooming range. A powerful ring-type USM drive provides silent, high-speed auto focusing, plus the wide zooming range provides an easy, enjoyable picture-taking experience.

This lens is a peerless new standard featuring an ultra-large aperture for a narrow depth of field and soft background blur. The lens coating and construction are optimized to minimize ghosting and flare that frequently occurs when lenses are used with digital cameras. This high-performance, weather-resistant lens delivers superb image resolution and contrast you expect from a Canon L Series Lens.

Incorporating Canon’s second generation IS technology, this telephoto zoom responds quickly, while providing up to three stops of correction for camera shake. Its AF system has been refined for better response time and tracking speed. The 8-blade circular aperture offers a more pleasing out-of-focus image. Constructed to pro standards, this fast zoom is also highly resistant to dust and moisture.

a lightweight, compact L Series telephoto zoom lens with IS. The optical IS in this lens provides up to four stops of shake correction. The use of fluorite UD lens elements provides excellent optical performance in terms of resolution and contrast. These features, together with its water-and dust-proof construction, provide both the performance and portability to meet user demands.

L-series super telephoto zoom lens equipped with an Image Stabilizer. The fluorite and Super UD-glass elements largely eliminate secondary spectrum. The floating system also ensures high picture quality at all focal lengths. The Image Stabilizer has two modes and it is compatible with Extenders 1.4x II and 2x II.

A telephoto macro lens with a maximum magnification of 1x. Life-size close-ups can be taken from a farther distance without disturbing the subject (insects, etc.). The internal floating system minimizes fluctuations in aberrations caused by changes in the focusing distance. Optical performance is outstanding from 1x to infinity.

Set for release in 2008, this lens is faster than the f/2.8L and has IS, enabling hand-held shooting for easier movement. Compatible with Canon's EF extenders.

A compact telephoto lens with IS which compensates for camera shake with the equivalent effect of two stops. Two IS modes are provided: Stabilizer Mode 1 stabilizes all directions, and Stabilizer Mode 2 which steadies the image during horizontal or vertical panning. Mode 2 detects the panning direction automatically.

This high-performance lens was designed with portability and handling ease in mind. One Super UD-glass element, whose characteristics are similar to fluorite, and one UD-glass element result in sharp pictures from corner-to-corner. The lens also has a built-in hood and a detachable tripod mount.

This lens is ideal for sports and wildlife photography. The newly designed optical system has one fluorite element and two UD-glass elements to obtain high resolution and high contrast. Also, the minimum focusing distance was reduced to 18 ft. (5.5m). Extender EF 2x II can be attached to increase the focal length to 1200mm while retaining AF.
