Ultra-wide angle lenses have always been in demand by
architectural, corporate, and other top pro photographers. The CANON EF14mm f/2.8L II USM lens features completely redesigned optics including 2 high-precision Aspherical
elements and two totally new UD-glass elements.
The result is superior image
quality: better contrast and sharpness at the outer edges, and a reduction in
chromatic aberrations that can sometimes be seen with high-resolution digital
SLRs.
Its diagonal angle of view is an impressive 114°-anything larger would be
a Fisheye lens. It has a built-in lens hood, and has been dust- and moisture-
proofed. The lens uses a rear focusing system, high-speed CPU, and a powerful
ring-type USM with revised electronics for faster, more responsive AF.
This
lens continues the proud tradition of superior clarity optics found in L-series
Canon lenses.
Features:
Aspherical and UD lens elements result in outstanding image delineation
Ultrasonic motor (USM) for fast , quiet focusing
Manual focusing is available after the subject comes into focus in autofocus mode (ONE SHOT AF)
