About the Product

The optical design comprises 9 elements in 7 groups, engineered to deliver high image quality and sharpness across the frame. The built-in Image Stabilizer (IS) system compensates for camera shake equivalent to up to 4 stops of shutter speed, significantly improving image clarity when shooting handheld at slower speeds, particularly indoors or at twilight.

The lens utilizes an Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for fast, silent, and highly precise autofocus. It also features a full-time manual focus (FTM) mechanism, allowing you to fine-tune focus instantly without switching the AF/MF mode. With a short minimum focusing distance of 0 point 23m, you can get close to your subject for unique perspectives.

Faqs:

Why is Image Stabilization useful on a wide-angle lens?

Although wide-angle lenses are less prone to camera shake blur than telephoto lenses, IS is highly beneficial, especially when shooting in low light. It allows the photographer to use slower shutter speeds (up to 4 stops slower) to compensate for low light without increasing the ISO, resulting in sharper, cleaner images.

Can this lens be used on Canon EOS R mirrorless cameras?

Yes, this Canon EF-mount lens can be used on Canon EOS R series mirrorless cameras (R, RP, R5, R6, etc.) using the appropriate Canon EF-to-RF Mount Adapter (not included, usually rented separately), maintaining full AF and IS functionality.

What makes 28mm a good focal length for street photography?

28mm is wide enough to capture a large environment and establish context without severe wide-angle distortion, offering a slight sense of spaciousness. It encourages the photographer to get closer to the subject while still incorporating the surrounding scene.

What does “full-time manual focus” mean?

Full-time manual focus means that once the lens has autofocused, you can immediately grab the focus ring and manually adjust the focus without having to flip the AF/MF switch on the lens or camera body.

What is the benefit of the 0 point 23m minimum focusing distance?

The short minimum focusing distance allows you to get very close to small subjects or details while still including the background, creating a unique perspective with background blur achieved by the f/2 point 8 aperture.
