Super Telephoto Lenses
Distinguished by their
white color and seen at
major sporting events
around the world, Canon’s
powerful EF Super Telephotos
are ideal for getting up-close
detail from afar. The latest
additions to the EF Lenses
line-up, the completely
redesigned EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM and
EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM feature improved durability
and water resistance, new Optical Image Stabilizer
algorithms and modes for up to 4-stops of shake correction,
and magnesium alloy components that significantly
reduce the weight and improve the usability from the
previous versions while retaining strength. They both feature
two flourite lens elements that reduce chromatic aberration
for outstanding optical performance. They are also compatible
with the newly redesigned Extender EF 1.4x III and
Extender EF 2x III, for additional reach and versatility.
Telephoto Zoom Lenses
Canon Telephoto zoom lenses
capture distant details normally
missed by the unaided eye,
and the unique property of
these lenses to compress images can create a variety of
impressive images. With lenses like Canon’s new
EF 70–300mm f/4–5.6L IS USM zoom lens, high image
quality has been achieved through the use of new optics
that feature two UD lens elements that effectively
correct chromatic aberrations.
Macro
The EOS lens lineup has a
number of options for true
close-up and macro photog-
raphy. With five different
macro lenses for precision, and three screw-on close-up
options for convenience — in addition to Life-Size
Converter EF and two Extension Tubes — Canon EF Macro
lenses and close-up accessories can uncover detail that
is impossible for the unaided human eye to detect.
Fisheye Zoom
With its unique focal length range,
the new Canon EF 8–15mm f/4L
Fisheye USM is the world’s widest
fisheye zoom lens. It delivers 180°
diagonal angle of view images for all EOS SLR cameras
with imaging formats ranging from full-frame to APS-C,
and provides 180° circular fisheye images for full-frame
EOS models.
TS-E
Canon’s Tilt/Shift lenses bring
many of the advantages of technical
view cameras to the EOS System.
Tilt movements alter the angle of
the plane of focus between the lens and film plane, allowing
precise control of depth-of-field even at large apertures.
Shift movements slide the lens’s optical axis along the
film/sensor plane,
enabling photographers to correct or
alter perspective at almost any angle.
EF-S Lenses
Designed for Canon EOS Digital
cameras with APS-C sized sensors
(with a 1.6x conversion factor),
Canon EF-S lenses take advantage
of the sensor’s smaller size to deliver optimized per-
formance in compact, lightweight designs.
Extenders
Canon’s Extender EF1.4X III
and Extender 2.0X III have
been completely redesigned
and optimized to take advan-
tage of the latest technologies and performance of
Canon’s new Super Telephoto lenses. Both have
improved durability, higher image quality, and more AF
precision when attached to these new lenses.
