L-series lenses are the result of Canon’s never ending commitment to the pursuit of technological innovation in optics, drive systems, durability, robust performance, and all other aspects of imaging. Canon has always pursued technologies that offer new capabilities and revolutionary forms of expression. Here are some of the unique technologies that Canon has introduced for use in L-series lenses.
A breakthrough in camera lens performance.
Reducing chromatic aberration that was once typical of large aperture lenses.
Changing the status quo with lenses that provide top quality imaging performance at any shooting distance.
Studying sunlight in the search for ideal colouring.
An anti-reflective coating that absorbs light into the lens.
Effectively reducing lens flare and ghosting.
A range of merits that support quality photography.
Enhancing portrait photography with a new level of bokeh expression.
Quiet and smooth: Using powerful magnets to drive large-aperture lenses
Immediate, accurate response.
Expanding the domain of photographic expression.
RF-mount design builds on the expectations of EF-mount lens users.
A groundbreaking new motor brings the promise of an “ideal lens” closer to reality.
An ultrasonic motor with a revolutionary actuator that delivers high-speed AF.
A new range of shooting options.
A new dimension in macro lens performance.
The impact of coordinated control IS enabling image stabilisation of up to 8.0 stops.
RF lenses can be operated easily using the free left hand.
Expanding the possibilities of macro photography.
Lens design that supports the AF performance of the entire system.
Useful for severe focusing needs through seamless AF and MF operation.
Lenses that can withstand the harshest of conditions.
Dust- and moisture-resistant construction performs to spec in even the most rugged shooting conditions.
The lens barrel is a symbol of L-series performance.
Bringing the "white barrel" into fashion.
