Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens

Why settle for ordinary when you can capture extraordinary with the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens from Canon? This ultra-wide-angle lens is a favorite among professional photographers specializing in architecture, corporate photography, and more, thanks to its redesigned optics that include two high-precision Aspherical elements and two completely new UD-glass elements. The result? Superior image quality that offers enhanced contrast and sharpness at the outer edges, and a significant reduction in chromatic aberrations that can sometimes be seen with high-resolution digital SLRs. This lens boasts an impressive diagonal angle of view of 114 degrees, providing a perspective that goes beyond the human eye without crossing into Fisheye lens territory. Designed with a built-in lens hood, this lens is dust and moisture-proof, making it a reliable companion for outdoor shoots. It utilizes a rear focusing system, a high-speed CPU, and a powerful ring-type USM with revised electronics for faster, more responsive autofocus (AF). As part of Canon's flagship professional L-series lens range, the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens represents the pinnacle of precision-designed EF optics. It combines superior performance with superlative handling and is resistant to dust and moisture. The lens's fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 allows photographers to shoot hand-held in low-light conditions without worrying about blur from camera shake. 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 across the frame. The lens's ultrasonic focusing feature drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near silence. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is reached accurately, without overshooting. Plus, full-time manual override is available, making it possible to adjust focus without leaving AF mode. The Super Spectra coatings help ensure accurate color 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. A circular aperture delivers smooth, even-looking background blur - ideal for isolating subjects against a blurred background. The EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens features an integrated lens hood that protects the front lens element and improves contrast. Its petal-shaped design prevents vignetting. A lens cap and soft case are also supplied. Experience the world through a wider lens with the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens from Canon.
