Canon consistently pushes the boundaries of optical design. This standard zoom lens is the first ever* to offer a maximum f/2 aperture, offering photographers a wide range of creative possibilities. The RF mount's large diameter and short back focus allow exceptional optical design flexibility, delivering high image quality across the zoom range. The lens incorporates two ground aspherical elements, two glass-molded aspherical elements, and a super Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) element to achieve high resolution and contrast from centre to periphery. Additionally, specialised coatings—Subwavelength-structure Coating (SWC) and Air Sphere Coating (ASC)—minimise lens flare and ghosting, even when shooting in backlit conditions. With its superior expressiveness, this lens is ideal for capturing portraits, landscapes, and even astronomical subjects, allowing photographers to realise their creative visions.
