Exceptional Optical Performance

To ensure sharp, high-contrast images, the lens features:

• Three Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) elements to reduce chromatic aberrations

• Three aspherical elements to correct distortion and maintain edge-to-edge clarity

• Air Sphere Coating (ASC) to minimize flare and ghosting, especially in backlit scenes

This combination guarantees outstanding sharpness, color accuracy, and overall image quality throughout the zoom range.

Fast, Silent Autofocus with Nano USM

Equipped with Canon’s Nano USM motor, the lens delivers fast, smooth, and virtually silent autofocus—ideal for both photography and video. Plus, it offers full-time manual focus override for more precision in critical shots.

Image Stabilization You Can Count On

The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer offers up to 5 stops of shake reduction. This gives you the confidence to shoot handheld in challenging lighting or at slower shutter speeds without losing sharpness.

Creative Control at Your Fingertips

Customize your shooting experience with the integrated Control Ring, which lets you quickly adjust settings like aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation—right from the lens.
