This redesigned L-series zoom brings superb optical quality, reliable image stabilization, and a robust build to Canon’s EF lineup, delivering sharpness, contrast, and color fidelity across the entire zoom range from expansive landscapes to intimate portraits. The constant f/4 aperture keeps exposure consistent as you zoom, making it easier to manage depth of field and maintain smooth performance in changing light. Whether you’re documenting travel, capturing events, or shooting video on the go, this lens offers the flexibility you need without swapping lenses mid-shoot. Its weather‑sealed, rugged construction is tailored to real-world conditions—from dusty city streets to misty mornings and coastal winds—so you can rely on dependable performance wherever your creativity takes you. The combination of advanced optics, precise autofocus, and a dependable stabilization system makes it a practical choice for professionals and enthusiasts who want an all‑purpose Canon zoom that remains sharp from edge to edge and provides consistent color rendering across a variety of shooting genres.
- All-in-one zoom for every scene: From 24mm wide landscapes to 105mm portraits, this zoom covers a broad range that reduces the need to carry multiple lenses. The constant f/4 aperture ensures consistent exposure as you zoom, which is especially valuable for travel storytelling, street photography, and documentary work where you want to stay in the moment without changing lenses. The versatility also benefits video shooters who require a dependable focal range for interviews, b‑roll, and run‑and‑gun footage.
- Elite optical performance and image quality: Built to Canon’s exacting L-series standards, the lens uses high‑quality glass and precision coatings to minimize chromatic aberration, ghosting, and flare. Images are crisp from center to edge with accurate color reproduction and high contrast, even when shooting against the sun or in challenging backlit situations. The optical design helps preserve fine detail across the frame, delivering professional results for landscapes, architecture, and studio-style portraits in mixed lighting.
- Integrated Image Stabilization for sharper handheld shots: The IS system is designed to counter camera shake, enabling you to shoot at slower shutter speeds with greater confidence. This means better handheld performance in dim interiors, evening street scenes, and travel photography where you’re working without a tripod. The stabilization also supports smoother handheld video, reducing motion blur and ensuring more watchable footage when you’re on the move.
- Fast, confident focusing with USM: The lens uses a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for responsive autofocus with quiet operation, making it well-suited for action, street, and documentary photography, as well as video capture where discreet, smooth focusing is desirable. Manual focus override is readily attainable for precise adjustments, helping you nail critical focus in portraiture, product shots, and environmental portraits.
- Rugged, weather-sealed build for daily use: The lens is engineered for field use, featuring a robust exterior and weather sealing to resist dust and moisture. This durability translates to reliable performance in demanding environments, enabling photographers to chase light from sunup to sundown, in all seasons, without worrying about weather conditions compromising image quality or functionality.
