The optical design uses one Super UD and two UD elements, plus three aspheric elements, specifically to suppress color fringing and reduce distortion. This maintains sharpness and accuracy from center to edge, even at the extremes of the zoom or aperture settings.
The magnesium alloy barrel, extensive weather sealing, and fluorine-coated elements offer outstanding protection from dust, moisture, and fingerprints. This makes it ideal for demanding field assignments, frequent rentals, and varied environmental conditions.
The lens can focus as close as 0.38 meters across the zoom range, offering up to 0.21x magnification at 70mm—allowing semi-macro close-ups and product photography on set.
The constant f2.8 aperture allows excellent light collection and depth control. Combined with the nine-blade rounded diaphragm, this ensures attractive background separation and soft bokeh at any focal length.
This lens is fully compatible with all EF-mount DSLR bodies. With the Canon EF to RF adapter, it can also be used on Canon’s RF-mount mirrorless cameras, offering seamless integration for hybrid shooting scenarios.
