Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM

Price (MSRP): $2,299.00
TYPE: Zoom Lens - Ultra-Wide


The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens improves upon the company's previous 16-35mm L lens with better peripheral image quality and reduced lateral chromatic aberration, using three aspherical lens elements and two Ultra Low Dispersion (UD) elements. The weatherproof lens also features new coatings to minimize ghosting and flare. The wide zoom lens focuses internally and has full-time mechanical manual focus, so that manual focus is enabled in AF mode. The front element of the lens does not rotate during focusing and zooming. Photographers who replace their current 16-35mm will need a new set of filters too -- this slightly larger optic has an 82mm filter diameter instead of the 77mm of the older lens. The lens has an EF mount and is compatible with all EOS SLRs. The 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens is available with an MSRP of $2299.
