Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM Autofocus Lens.

Description

Overview

The EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens from Canon is a wide-angle prime lens that gives you superb image quality in a compact form, it is ideal as an everyday “walk-around” lens. Equipped with Canon’s Optical Image Stabiliser, it provides up to 4 stops of shake correction and is effective in low light. A ring-type Ultrasonic Focus Motor (USM) and advanced CPU with optimised AF algorithms provide fast, smooth and silent autofocusing which is especially important when shooting video. Full-time manual focusing is available even while in AF mode.

Features

The EF24mm f/2.8 IS USM delivers a minimum focusing distance of 0.20m, allowing photographers to get close to their subject without losing clarity. The lenses deliver crisper, sharper handheld images in low light conditions, due to the addition of Canon’s Image Stabiliser. Canon’s Image Stabiliser enables photographers to shoot with shutter speeds up to four stops slower than would otherwise be possible; enabling the photographer to shoot confidently and capture images without the blur that is usually caused by camera shake.

Design

The GMo aspherical lens element corrects the shadowy distortion that can occur at the sides of an image, resulting in better clarity and contrast of shapes and lines for creative impact. The EF24mm f/2.8 IS USM is also installed with a circular aperture, which enables users to play with light sources in the background to create a soft, out-of-focus effect so that subjects at close range are shrouded by creative and interesting light effects.
