Product Description

 
To meet user demands for a fast EF-S zoom lens, Canon has specially designed a new lens with a large aperture of f/2.8 for select Canon Digital SLR cameras.* The large circular aperture produces a shallow depth-of-field, creating background blur that draws attention to the photographic subject. The lens construction includes UD and aspherical elements, which deliver impressive image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Image Stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for camera movement so that the image appears steady on the image plane, ensuring clear, crisp images, even in dim light. With a Ring-type USM, inner focusing and new AF algorithms, this lens achieves autofocus quickly and quietly, and with full-time mechanical manual focusing, manually adjusting the focus is possible even in AF mode.

Expensive non-L lens

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: Yes if you plan to stick with 1.6X crop bodies from Canon. It's a very reliable sharp lens ...and can give you good results in most situations.
Review: It carries a L lens price tag and it is made of some L lens elements. Very sharp across the f/stops even wide open at 2.8... Comparable to 24-70/2.8L and 17-40/4L sharpness at the corresponding widest apreture. Focus is very fast and zoom ring is...

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: It may not have the red ring, but it sure has everything else you could ever want!
Review: An EF-S lens. $1,000. I told myself repeatedly that I would not buy it. I mean come on, a non-L series lens for this much money? You have got to be kidding me? After killing myself over the decision between the Canon EF 24-105mm F4L IS USM and the...
