About This Product

The Canon EF 16-35mm F2.8L III USM is the ultimate wide-angle zoom in Canon’s lineup, and a staple rental for demanding creators at Unicorn Films. Designed to provide outstanding sharpness and clarity across the entire image, this lens thrives in scenarios where dynamic perspective and consistent performance are essential from breathtaking landscapes and dramatic architecture to high-profile weddings, crowded events, or creative commercial shoots.

  • Exceptional Optical Engineering: Incorporates three glass-molded aspherical elements and two ultra-low dispersion (UD) elements, dramatically reducing chromatic and spherical aberrations. This translates to edge-to-edge sharpness, vibrant color rendering, and unrivaled image clarity at every focal length.
  • Constant Bright f2.8 Aperture: The bright f2.8 opening is maintained throughout the zoom range, allowing for beautiful background separation, excellent low-light results, and creative control in both video and stills crucial for flexible rental workflows.
  • Advanced Lens Coatings: SubWavelength Structure Coating and Air Sphere Coating minimize flare and ghosting, so you get punchy contrast and true color even in backlit or harsh conditions. Shoot confidently at sunrise, sunset, or under challenging lighting.
  • Fast, Reliable Autofocus: The ring-type USM autofocus motor provides swift, precise, and almost silent performance. Full-time manual focus override gives precise control, essential for both run-and-gun projects and controlled studio work.
  • Superior Build and Weather Sealing: The lens is weather-resistant, with sturdy magnesium alloy construction, a fluorine-coated front element to repel dust and fingerprints, and full sealing against moisture and dust. Rental users can confidently take this lens on location in challenging climates.
  • Practical and Portable Design: Weighing just 790 grams, it strikes the perfect balance for handheld shooting or lightweight rigs, ideal for travel, gimbal work, or all-day event coverage.
  • Flexible Close Focusing: With a minimum focus distance of only 0.28 meters, you can create dramatic perspectives and close-up details in interiors, tight spaces, or creative wide-angle shots.
  • Professional Bokeh and Background Control: The nine-blade rounded diaphragm ensures attractive, circular out-of-focus highlights, elevating your visual storytelling in both portraiture and environmental scenes.
  • Ready for Lens Filters & Accessories: The classic 82mm filter thread supports ND and polarizing filters, a key advantage for videographers or landscape photographers renting from Unicorn Films.
