Canon DSLR EF lenses encompass a wide range of creative options.

This includes compact, wide-aperture prime lenses, zooms for flexible framing; and specialist lenses such as fisheye, macro, and tilt-shift.

EF fixed focal length lenses offer a blend of image quality, compact size and wide maximum apertures.

1) Canon DSLR EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM

The EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM goes beyond human perspective, taking in a massive 114˚ field of view. A corrected, rectilinear design make this an ideal lens for architecture, interiors and landscapes.

Its ultra wide-angle nature gives a strong separation between foreground and background elements.

L-series quality

The L-series is Canon’s flagship professional lens range, representing the best in precision-designed EF optics. L-series lenses combine superior performance with superlative handling, and are resistant to dust and moisture.

Fast maximum aperture

A maximum aperture of f/2.8 allows photographers to shoot hand-held in low-light conditions without worrying about blur from camera shake.

Aspherical and UD elements

For optimum visual performance the lens incorporates aspherical elements to correct spherical aberrations, and Super UD (ultra-low dispersion) elements to eliminate chromatic aberrations.

The result is crisp, high-contrast images that are free from distortion all the way across the frame.

Ultrasonic focusing

A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near silence. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is reached accurately, without overshooting. Furthermore, full-time manual override is available, making it possible to adjust focus without leaving AF mode.

Super Spectra coating

Super Spectra coatings help ensure accurate colour balance and high contrast. They also suppress flare and ghosting by absorbing light. That would otherwise be reflected off internal lens elements and the camera’s digital sensor.

Circular aperture

A circular aperture delivers smooth, even-looking background blur – ideal for isolating subjects against a blurred background.

Accessories by Canon DSLR

The EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM features an integrated lens hood that protects the front lens element and improves contrast. Its petal-shaped design prevents vignetting. Additionally, a lens cap and soft case are also supplied.

2) Canon DSLR EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM

The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM is an ultimate fast aperture wide-angle lenses. UD and aspherical elements eliminate distortion and aberrations for stunning results. A f/1.4 maximum aperture allows hand-held shooting in low light.

Fast aperture prime lens by Canon DSLR

The EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM has a large maximum aperture of f/1.4, making hand-held shooting possible in low light.

Such large apertures can be used to restrict depth of field, even at such short focal lengths. Circular diaphragm blades result in smooth out-of-focus regions (bokeh).

Aspherical and UD elements by Canon DSLR

For optimum visual performance, the lens incorporates two types of special elements: aspherical elements to correct spherical aberrations, and Super UD (ultra-low dispersion) elements to eliminate secondary chromatic aberrations.

Thus, the result is crisp, high-contrast, and undistorted image quality all the way across the frame.

Subwavelength structure lens coating

Canon’s patented lens element coating minimises the ghosting and flare caused by internal reflections within a lens and helps the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM to deliver crisp, clear images.

Ultrasonic focusing

A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near silence. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is reached accurately, without overshooting.

Furthermore, full-time manual override is available, making it possible to adjust focus without leaving AF mode.

L-series quality

The L-series is Canon’s flagship professional lens range, representing the best in precision-designed EF optics.

L-series lenses combine superior performance with superlative handling, and are resistant to dust and moisture.

Lead-free optics

Environmentally friendly, lead-free glass is used throughout the construction of the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM.

3) Canon DSLR EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM

Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM is A true modern classic: a standard wide-angle lens beloved by reportage photographers for its natural perspective, low-light capability and extraordinary optical performance.

Offers a wide-angle view with a natural perspective

A classic, slightly wide-angle 35mm focal length, loved by documentary photographers for its ability to capture a subject within its environment without distorting perspective.

Superb low-light performance by Canon DSLR

A large f/1.4 maximum aperture lets in two stops more light than an f/2.8 zoom lens. Making this an ideal lens for hand-held photography in low-light conditions.
Shooting at wide apertures allows photographers to limit depth of field. Creating such shallow-focus effects is one way that a subject can be made to stand out against a background. And is particularly effective when combined with the lens’s wide-angle field of view.
The lens’s nine-bladed aperture renders out-of-focus areas smoothly and naturally.

Sets new standards in image quality by Canon DSLR

Blue Spectrum Refractive optics, made from an organic optical material developed by Canon, tackle colour fringing by correcting chromatic aberrations to a degree not previously possible.

Ultra Low-Dispersion (UD) optics and two aspherical lens elements provide incredible sharpness right across the frame – even when the lens is used wide open.

Subwavelength structure coating boosts contrast and guards against flare and ghosting when shooting into the light.

Focuses quickly and discreetly, letting you capture the unexpected

Ring-type USM autofocus establishes accurate focus quickly and in near silence, letting you work without disturbing the scene.
Full-time manual focusing allows focus adjustments without changing focus mode or removing your camera from your eye.

Keep shooting even in tough conditions

Canon’s legendary L-series build-quality inspires confidence and adds durability. Weather sealing guards against dust and moisture, while a fluorine coating protects the lens’s front and rear element from grease and dirt, and makes it easier to clean.

Blue Spectrum Refractive optics by Canon DSLR

Canon developed Blue Spectrum Refractive (BR) optics to tackle coloured fringing in large-diameter lenses.

This bespoke organic optical material is more effective at correcting such fringing than other technologies, like fluorite, Ultra Low-Dispersion (UD) or Super UD glass.

Coloured fringing is caused by chromatic aberration – a phenomenon where light of different colours is focused at different points.

Using BR optical material in the EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM minimises this effect. Other elements in the lens can then be optimised to give superb sharpness, contrast and resistance to flare.
