Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras

To meet user demands for a fast EF-S zoom lens Canon has specially designed a new lens with a large aperture of f/2.8 for select Canon Digital SLR cameras.* The large circular aperture produces a shallow depth-of-field creating background blur that draws attention to the photographic subject. The lens construction includes UD and aspherical elements which deliver impressive image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Image Stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for camera movement so that the image appears steady on the image plane ensuring clear crisp images even in dim light. With a Ring-type USM inner focusing and new AF algorithms this lens achieves autofocus quickly and quietly and with full-time mechanical manual focusing manually adjusting the focus is possible even in AF mode.

  • 17-55mm wide-angle zoom lens with f/2.8 maximum aperture for Canon DSLR cameras

  • AD and aspherical elements deliver impressive image quality through entire zoom range

  • Image Stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for image shake even in dim lighting

  • Large circular aperture produces shallow depth of field; ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM)

  • Measures 3.3 inches in diameter and 4.4 inches long; weighs 22.8 ounces; 1-year warranty

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras

The L-series is Canon's flagship professional lens range designed to include outstanding image performance ultimate operability and weather resistance. The EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM offers a lightweight alternative to the renowned EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM. offers the highest possible optical quality with no change in aperture over the full focal range of the lens. This allows photographers to set exposure at the widest aperture and zoom all the way through to 105mm without having to vary the shutter speed. Image Stabilizer (IS) dramatically reduces image blur caused by camera shake. Gyro sensors detect unwanted vibrations triggering the corresponding movement of a correcting lens group perpendicular to the optical axis. This alters the light path returning the image to its correct position on the sensor or film plane. The 3 stop advantage means that photographers normally shooting a 105mm lens handheld at 1/125 sec can obtain a shake free result with a shutter speed as low as 1/15 sec for vastly extended options in low light conditions. The ring-type USM motor found in the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM employs ultra-sonic frequency vibrations to drive auto focus with unrivalled speed and near-silent operation. A powerful CPU and improved AF algorithm contribute to speed performance. Good holding torque stops the lens with precision and accuracy the instant it arrives at the correct focus point and without overshoot. Photographers can choose manual focus instantly and at any time simply by moving the manual focus ring without first having to switch out of auto focus mode. Circular aperture producing attractive background defocus Inner focusing ring USM and new AF algorithms for fast and quiet autofocusing Manual focusing enabled even during AF mode (full-time mechanical manual focus) Only environmentally friendly lead-free glass used in lens construction Filter diameter 77 mm / Dimensions (dia x len)

  • 24-105mm standard zoom lens with f/4 maximum aperture for Canon EOS SLR cameras

  • 1 Super UD glass element and 3 aspherical lenses minimize chromatic aberration and distortion

  • Ring-type USM system delivers silent but quick autofocus (AF); full-time manual focus

  • Image Stabilizer technology steadies camera shake at up to 3 stops; weighs 23.6 ounces

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens

Equipped with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology the Canon EF-S 18-55mm standard zoom lens is ideal for just about any application. IS technology compensates for camera shake by providing the equivalent effect of a shutter speed up to four stops faster. This allows you to take sharp handheld shots even in low-light conditions--a must for sports and nature photography. The lens also offers an aspherical lens element that corrects for aberration thus producing a topnotch image throughout the zoom range and a circular aperture that exquisitely renders out-of-focus backgrounds. Despite its minimal size weight and cost the lens expands the picture-taking possibilities any time slow shutter speeds are needed.

  • Focal Length & Maximum Aperture - 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6

  • Lens Construction - 16 elements in 12 groups including UD-glass and aspherical lenses

  • Diagonal Angle of View - 74 20' - 7 50' (with APS-C image sensors)

  • Focus Adjustment - Gear-driven

  • Closest Focusing Distance - 1.48 ft./0.45m (maximum close-up magnification 0.24x)

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLRs

With its effective focal length range of approximately 16-35mm in 35mm format the EF-S 10-22mm f/3. 5-4. 5 USM is a remarkable lens with outstanding image quality that will take your photography into new dimensions and areas of dramatic expression. The super-wide zoom not only gives you the freedom to get exactly what you want in the shot it dramatically alters perspective to allow for dynamic expression. The lens allows you to get extremely close to subjects exaggerating the difference in size between a near object and its background. Creative photographers can use this phenomenon to create excellent separation between subject and background for a strong sense of presence or for a pan-focus effect with everything from foreground to background sharply in focus. Exceptionally light and compact for its focal length range the EF-S 10-22mm f/3. 5-4. 5 USM also has an incredibly close minimum focusing distance of just 24cm. A ring-type USM works in concert with the camera to provide super-fast precision auto focusing and predictive tracking - with full manual override available at any time. Designed specifically for digital photography the lens has specially shaped lens elements and Super Spectra coatings to suppress ghosting and flare which can be caused by reflections off digital camera sensors. An exclusive optional lens hood can further reduce the incidence of flare. A circular aperture provides a pleasing background blur when shooting with a wide aperture; ideal for creating a sense of depth and getting your subject or model to stand out from the background.

  • 10-22mm wide-angle zoom lens with f/3.5-4.5 maximum aperture for EOS digital SLR cameras

  • Superior AF performance and speed with full-time manual focus with the turn of a ring

Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR Cameras

A thoroughly modern design that's optimized for select Canon EOS digital SLRs. Its angle of view is equivalent to a 96mm lens on a 35mm camera with a floating optical system that can focus down to full life-size (1:1) magnification. Inner focusing driven by a silent and powerful ring-type USM means the lens' overall length never changes during focus.
