EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
The ultimate “normal” lens in the
EF system. This superb lens is
sharp even wide open, and of
course its f/1.4 speed makes it
perfect for available-light shooting.
For many, it’s an ideal lens to
accompany a zoom when shooting
in low-light conditions. Compact
and affordable, it’s the only lens in
the EF system to combine the
extra-small Micro USM and still
provide full-time manual focusing
when the lens is in the AF mode.
EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Lightweight and affordable, this
sharp lens with a fast f/1.8
aperture is an excellent first lens
for those who prefer a fixed focal
length, and makes an excellent
addition to any photographer’s
system for available-light
shooting. A traditional Gauss-type
optical design ensures sharp
performance even when wide
open, and it focuses as close as
18 inches (0.45m).
EF 85mm f/1.2L USM
The fastest telephoto lens in the
entire Canon EF line-up, and the
world’s fastest 85mm autofocus
lens. This exquisite professional
lens is obviously popular for its
available-light capabilities, but its
proven performance makes it ideal
for portraits, fashion and even
sports. Two Aspherical elements
provide thorough correction of
spherical aberrations. A ring-type
USM means silent AF from 3 feet
(0.9m) to infinity, and full-time
electronic manual focusing is
also available.
EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
Sharp. Lightweight. Responsive.
These are just a few adjectives
that describe this terrific
portrait-length telephoto lens.
With a powerful ring-type USM
and fast f/1.8 aperture, subjects
zip into focus in the viewfinder.
It’s great for all types of work
calling for moderate telephoto
power, but comes into its own in
low-light situations, and offers a
one-third-stop speed advantage
over
the 100mm f/2 USM lens.
EF 100mm f/2 USM
Another option in high-speed
moderate telephotos, this compact
lens is ideal for portraits and
low-light work. Compared with the
85mm f/1.8 USM lens, it provides
that little bit extra of telephoto
power sometimes necessary
outdoors or for candid shooting.
Like the 85mm, it’s super-sharp
(even wide open), and has fast
USM autofocus along with full-
time manual focusing.

Aspherical lens
EF 28mm f/2.8
The most affordable fixed focal
length wide-angle lens in the
Canon EF line-up continues to give
benefits difficult or impossible to
find with zooms. The fast f/2.8
aperture makes it easy to use in
low light, and provides a bright
viewfinder image in the camera.
It focuses as close as 10 inches
(0.25m) without accessories.
And optically, it provides excellent
edge-to-edge contrast and
sharpness along with superior
correction of linear distortion,
so straight lines in a subject (such
as architecture) remain straight.
EF 24mm f/2.8
Another superb ultra-wide-angle
choice, with floating optics for
superior performance throughout
its focus range and a fast f/2.8
aperture that makes it a great
alternative to a zoom lens for
low-light shooting. Its rear-group
focusing system reaches down to
less than 10 inches (0.25m).
EF 35mm f/1.4L USM
Long requested by professionals,
it’s the standard lens for many
photojournalists and others who
value its low-light capability and
performance. With the help of
an Aspherical lens element,
its contrast and sharpness are
stunning, even wide open at f/1.4.
Solid construction, a powerful
ring-type USM for smooth and fast
AF, and full-time manual focusing
make this a great lens for film or
digital shooters.
EF 35mm f/2
An affordable lens that’s ideal for
tasks like group photos and other
applications calling for excellent
optical performance and
moderately wide focal length.
It’s compact and lightweight, and
with f/2.0 speed, it’s a compelling
alternative to a wide-angle zoom
lens for low-light shooting.
EF 28mm f/1.8 USM
Combine a fast f/1.8 aperture with
28mm wide-angle focal length,
and add Canon’s Ultrasonic
Motor AF. The result is this
surprisingly affordable fixed focal
length alternative to wide-angle
zooms that’s ideal for low-light
shooting. Internal, rear-group
focusing means the front element
never moves, so it’s easy to use
with filters and accessories. The
autofocus is virtually silent,
and full-time manual focus is
always available.

MEDIUM & STANDARD TELEPHOTO LENSES
Medium & standard
A medium telephoto lens with a large aperture brings the subject closer, creates excellent background blur, gives a longer
flash range, and affords a faster shutter speed to freeze the action. A standard zoom lens, with its natural angle of view and
perspective, captures the subject plainly, with no special effects. However, you can use standard lenses in creative ways by varying
the subject distance, aperture and angle. Three medium telephoto lenses and two standard telephoto lenses are available.
