Images From Your Imagination,
Delivered by Canon EF Lenses
Ever noticed that “imagination” contains the word “image”?
That’s because creating an image starts with your imagination.
When you have an image in mind, you must choose a lens
which can capture that image. And whatever that image
may be, you can be sure that Canon has the lens you need.
Whether it is a 15mm fisheye or a 1200mm super telephoto,
all Canon EF lenses feature the finest materials (especially
the L-series lenses) and technologies. They include Fluorite,
UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass, Aspherical lenses, lens-
based Ultrasonic Motors, inner and rear focusing, Image
Stabilizer, Diffractive Optics, and a fully-electronic interface.
Only the variety and versatility of EF lenses can match your
wondrous imagination.

All-Around, Practical Lenses
Very likely, your first EF lens will be (or was) one of these lenses.
After all, they feature the most popular focal lengths. From wide-angle
to telephoto, you get the best of both worlds. The ten lenses in this
category give you a choice of zoom ranges and maximum apertures.
The smaller the maximum aperture, the smaller and lighter the lens.
Take a look at them all and get the one suiting your needs and budget.

An unbeatable combination of zoom
range, silent and fast USM autofocus,
excellent optics and Canon’s Image
Stabilization technology. IS allows
steady hand-held operation at shutter
speeds up to two full stops slower
than would normally be possible,
and makes this a practical lens even
in low-light situations. It’s one of the
most versatile lens choices in the
entire EF line-up for the advanced
EOS photographer.
EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM
The ultimate all-in-one zoom lens, and
one of the world’s closest-focusing
28-200mm zooms with internal

EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM
This lens is an outstanding choice
as a standard zoom for advanced
photographers looking for durability
and performance. It has the same
optical formula (and quality) as the
previous highly-regarded EF 28-105mm
USM lens, but with a refined exterior
appearance. Its ring-type USM gives
the silent and fast autofocus that EOS
users expect, along with full-time
manual focusing capability even when
in the AF mode.
EF 28-105mm f/4-5.6 USM
This incredible lens is the smallest and
lightest in its class. It’s totally new
optically, with an Aspherical element to
keep the quality up and the size down.
Even more noteworthy is an entirely
new Micro USM, that’s about half the
length of previous designswith the
same focusing power and performance.
Features like circular diaphragm blades
(for natural backgrounds) and internal
focusing (the front element never
rotates) round out this great new lens.

•f/8 •1/180 sec.
EF 28-90mm f/4-5.6 II USM
Super-light and compact like its
predecessor, but now with even faster
AF due to new internal electronics and a
faster lens CPU. It’s optically unchanged,
which is a good thing images are
sharp and crisp throughout the zoom
range, and the Micro USM provides
quick and ultra-quiet AF. It’s an ideal
standard lens, and one of the most
popular in the entire EOS system.
TELEPHOTO ZOOM LENSES
11
EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM
With the addition of a Micro USM for
faster and even quieter autofocus, this
version of the EF 75-300mm is well-
suited for sports and other applications
requiring fast AF. The USM version
shares the compact size, close focusing
range, and accessory compatibility of
the non-USM lens. For many advanced
amateurs, the 75-300 range is ideal
as a versatile entry into telephoto
photography.

Isolate the Interesting Part
The eye tends to see the whole rather than the individual parts. It
also sees what’s near and not what’s far. By bringing attention to
those things missed by the eye, you can create many interesting
pictures. It could be the grimace of an athlete, the grill of a classic
car, or a girl against a blurred background. Telephoto lenses can
also compress images to give dramatic effects. You are limited only
by your imagination.

EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
A spectacular professional lens,
combining the virtues of the legendary
EF 70-200 f/2.8L with the Canon’s
newest Image Stabilization technology.
The IS system now offers up to a three-
stop improvement in hand-held ability,
responds faster than ever before, and
functions on a solid tripod. Additional
improvements include faster AF response
and tracking speed, weather-resistant
construction, and the entirely new optical
system focuses even closer (to 4.6 feet/
1.4m) than the non-IS version.

silent, and permits full-time minimum
focus, as well as the closest MF of any
of the L-series 70-200 designs. It’s also
compatible with EF Extenders 1.4x II and
2x II, and accepts an optional accessory
tripod collar.
EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II
The ultimate compact telephoto zoom
lens in the EF system, and a great
choice for travel and other applications
where portability is a priority. It’s
especially well-suited for compact SLR
bodies such as the EOS Rebel and Elan
series, and even compact digital EOS
SLRs, with a weight of only 8.8 oz.
(250g). Its optical quality is assured by
a five-group zooming system.

A unique professional L-series lens,
covering an amazing 10x zoom range
from wide-angle to super-telephoto. It’s a
magnificent choice for travel photography
and other outdoor applications. The
zoom control has a separate ring to adjust
or lock the zooming action, enhancing
its already excellent handling. The 21-
element optical formula includes two
UD-glass elements, and at its 135mm
zoom setting, close-focusing to two feet
(0.6m) is possible.
EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM
This affordable and lightweight zoom
differs from the 75-300mm models
with its higher-performance ring-type
Ultrasonic focusing motor and superior

rotate during focusing, and adds full-
time manual focusing capability. It’s
excellent not just for outdoor sports,
butany subjects requiring the versatility
of a telephoto zoom.
EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
A truly professional L-series telephoto
zoom lens with Image Stabilization,
making hand-holding practical even at
its 400mm focal length. Both a Fluorite
and a Super UD-glass element ensure
outstanding contrast and sharpness,
and it accepts the EF Extenders 1.4x II
and 2x II. A ring-type USM makes AF
fast and silent down to 5.9 feet (1.8m),
and of course it offers full-time manual
focusoverride. This durable L-series
lens is regarded by many pros as one of
the world’s finest telephoto zooms for
hand-held outdoor use.

nature. It shares the same 13-element
optical system as the 75-300mm USM
lens, but uses a DC motor for autofocus.
Close-focusing down to 4.9 feet (1.5m)
allows filling the frame (at 300mm) with
a subject the size of a dollar bill, and
it’s compatible with the Canon 58mm
Close-up lens 500D for even more
spectacular shots of small objects.

A significant lens in the history of Canon
optics, this was the first SLR lens in the
world to offer Image Stabilization
providing up to two stops of improvement
in hand-held capability at slow shutter
speeds. Its 15-element optical formula
is unique, but it offers capabilities
similar to Canon’s 75-300 versions
without IS. Image Stabilization gives
this lens amazing real-world sharpness
in many situations, and is especially
advantageous when combined with
lightweight camera bodies.

professional Canon lens with USM fast
and silent, with smooth full-time
manual focus available at any time.
Aspherical lens UD lens
Wide and Fast
If you need an ultra-wide angle and a large aperture, one of the
following lenses will fit the bill. Ultra-wide-angle lenses can capture
scenes beyond your natural field of vision. The EF 15mm f/2.8
Fisheye, the widest of them all, has a 180˚ angle of view. For more
normal-looking wide-angle shots, there are longer wide-angle lenses
up to 35mm with the maximum aperture you need.
14
EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye
A full-frame fisheye lens that’s ideal for
special effects with any EOS camera,
film or digital. It focuses as close as
eight inches (0.2m), and is tack-sharp
throughout its focus range. Up to three
gel filters can be inserted into its built-in
rear filter holder.
EF 14mm f/2.8L USM
This is a true rectilinear ultra-wide-angle
lens that’s absolutely corrected for
linear distortion straight lines remain
straight. It’s outstanding for shooting
in confined areas and interiors, and is
often used by professionals because of
the unique “look” its extreme wide-
angle perspective provides. The optics
are superb, highlighted by a ground
and polished aspherical element. It
hasa gelfilter holder in the rear that
allows up to three gel filters to be used
for color correction.

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.
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
lowlight, 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 35mm f/1.4L USM
Long requested by professionals, it’s
the standard lens for many photo-
journalists and others who value its
low-light capability and performance.
With the help of an Aspheric 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

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

Medium and 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.

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
makesitperfect 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 wide-
open, and it focuses as close as 18
inches/0.45m.

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
1/3-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
to 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.

EF 135mm f/2L USM
One of the finest lenses of its type in the
world today. This magnificent telephoto
lens uses two UD-glass elements to
provide incredible sharpness and
contrast, even wide-open. It’s perfect
for outdoor portraits, but comes into its
own in low-light situations. It focuses
down to 3 feet (0.9m), and is fully
compatible with both the EF 1.4x II and
2x II tele extenders.
EF 135mm f/2.8 with Softfocus
A unique, compact telephoto lens that
gives the choice of razor-sharp images,
or with the twist of a ring, two degrees of
soft focus. It works by applying “softness
over sharpness,” using deliberate
spherical aberration on top of a sharp
“core” image at apertures from f/2.8 thru
5.6; images taken at apertures smaller
than f/5.6 are always sharp. Autofocus
continues to function, with or without
the soft focus in use. This lens is an
ideal addition to a portrait or scenic
photographer’s arsenal. A perfect
combination with an EOS Digital SLR,
with the camera enabling review of soft
focus effect on the LCD monitor.
EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM
Lighter by more than 1.2 pounds (545g)
than the 70-200 f/2.8L zoom lens, this
fast telephoto lens is a perfect alternative
for low-light shooting or just reducing
weight in the gadget bag. Two UD-glass
elements and internal rear-group
focusing are among its optical highlights,
and it’s fully compatible with Canon’s
EF 1.4x II and 2x II tele extenders. A
detachable hood is included, and Tripod
Ring A (B) is available as an accessory.

Long and Fast
A telephoto lens is essential to any serious photographer. For
sports action, you will need a fast shutter speed and a long focal
length. A large maximum aperture allows a faster shutter speed.
In this telephoto lens line-up, the focallengths range from 135mm
to 300mm. If you want compactness, choose a lens with a smaller
maximum aperture.

Image Stabilization adds to what’s
already a legendary professional lens.
The 300mm f/2.8L IS lens focuses
closer (down to 8.2 feet/2.5m), offers
the world’s fastest autofocus when
used with EOS bodies having 45-point
AF, is gasketed and sealed against dust
and moisture, and has a lightweight
magnesium alloy barrel and tripod
collar. Its image quality, aided by both
Fluorite and UD-glass, is stellar, and
its advanced IS even works on a rock-
steady tripodas well as on a
monopod or when hand-held.
EF 300mm f/4L IS USM
Excellent optics and superb handling
in a compact package with Image
Stabilization. The IS allows safe hand-
holding at shutter speeds up to two
stops slower than otherwise possible
making it even more useful in low-light
levels. It’s less than half the weight of
the 300mm f/2.8L IS, and it focuses to
an incredibly close 4.9 ft/1.5m, filling
the frame with a subject the size of a
postcard. Like all of Canon’s fixed focal

About Macro Magnification
A life-size macro lens—that is, a 1x
magnification records an image on film
at its actual size. If you’re photographing
a flower, for example, and it has a
diameter of 1 in., it will occupy 1 in. on
your film. Other macro lenses have
lower or higher magnifications. A lens
with 0.5x magnification would produce
an image on film that is half the size of
the actual subject. Your 1 in. flower,
then, would only occupy 0.5 in. on film.
In the other direction, a 5x magnification
lens would convert the 1 in. flower to a
5 in. diameter image. Since the entire
image wouldn’t fit in the frame of your
film, you would have an enlarged image
of a detail of the flower. Magnification
is not the same thing as focal length. A
50mm lens and a 135mm might both
be macro lenses with, for example,
1.0x magnification. The advantage of
the longer lens is that it allows greater
distance from a subject. You would
choose the 135mm macro lens to
photograph a butterfly or a bird.
The 50mm lens would be more suitable
for a subject that won’t move away
when you approach it.

For Advanced Photo Work
With a Canon TS-E lens, you can control the angle of the plane of
focus and the picture’s perspective. The effects of large-format camera
movements can be obtained with TS-E lenses for EOS cameras.
Although manual focusing is required, automatic aperture control
enables autoexposure and autoexposure bracketing. The tilt and
shift axes intersect at a 90˚ angle. They can be made parallel at an
authorized Canon Service Facility (modified at owner’s expense).

TS-E Lens Movements
TS-E lenses are capable of tilt and shift movements which greatly
expand picture-taking possibilities. Tilt movements alter the angle
of the plane of focus between the lens and film plane, and shift
movements move the lens’ optical axis in parallel.
Tilt Movements
If you want to bring the entire length of
the hedge into focus, you could use a
wide-angle lens and a small aperture to
obtain a wide depth of field (Photo 1-a).
With tilt movements, you can achieve
this wide depth of field even at the max-
imum aperture. By tilting the center of
the TS-E lens barrel, you can tilt the lens
so that the plane of focus is uniform on
the film plane (Photo 1-b).

Normally, when you point your camera
up at a tall building, the building will
look slimmer toward the top. It becomes
trapezoidal (Photo 2-a). This perspective
effect is more pronounced with shorter
lens focal lengths, distorting the building
even more. By altering the parallel
position between the lens and the film
plane with the TS-E lens, this perspective
effect can be corrected. With the camera’s
film plane set parallel to the building,
shifting the lens upward will obtain a
more rectangular-looking building
(Photo 2-b).

Aspherical Lenses
Ordinary spherical elements have an
inherent flaw in that the point of focus
for the lens center does not match that
of the lens periphery. Spherical
aberrations of large-aperture lenses and
distortion by ultra-wide-angle lenses
cannot be resolved with spherical
elements alone. The Aspherical lens
element was therefore developed. The
curvature of the lens element is calculated
and shaped to achieve the ideal single
point of focus. The result is high contrast
with minimal flare even with a large-
aperture lens. Distortion can also be
effectively corrected in ultra-wide-angle
lenses. Canon started to develop
manufacturing technology for Aspherical
elements early on. We eventually
succeeded in establishing a mass-
production grinding and polishing
process with a polishing precision of
5/10,000 mm. In 1971, Canon marketed
the FD 55mm f/1.2AL lens, the world’s
first large-aperture Aspherical lens for
SLRs. This was followed by many other
Canon lenses incorporating Aspherical
elements and they were well received.
Also, Canon developed mass-production
technology for glass-molded aspherical
elements and replicated Aspherical
lenses. The former was produced by an
ultra-high-precision aspherical lens-
molding machine which shaped the glass
directly. For the latter, the Aspherical
surface was formed by ultraviolet-
hardened resin film applied on a spherical
element. Canon has developed
numerous compact-size lenses, taking
full advantage of Aspherical elements
to attain high image quality.
Ultrasonic Motors (USM)
The Ultrasonic Motor (USM) in Canon
EF lenses is the world’s first lens-based
motor. Based on a totally new
technology, the motor spins by ultrasonic
oscillation energy. The USM is quiet
and quick. It has made EF lenses almost
noiseless and autofocusing fast,
precise, and practical. The direct-drive
construction is very simple, with no gear
train. This makes it durable and efficient.
It also consumes little power. Two types
of USM are used: Ring-type USM and
Micro USM. The former type is found in
large-aperture and super telephoto
lenses, while the latter is used in more
compact lenses. Using the optimum
type of USM in the lens results in
maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

Diffractive Optics
Another world’s first in camera lens
optical design, Canon introduced new
technology in order to build a super
telephoto that complements its latest
compact film and digital SLR cameras.
This cutting-edge technology employs
diffractive optical elements that use the
principle of diffraction to change the
direction of the lightwave’s path. This
revolutionary element has Aspherical
characteristics, which help define
superior maximum aperture image
quality, as well as optical qualities
superior to UD-glass to totally correct
color fringing. The Multi-Layer Diffractive
Optical Elements exhibit outstanding
ability to correct chromatic aberrations
(color defects), and are especially effective
in super telephoto lens design where
these specific types of optical defects
are most likely to happen. You can see
how well the technology works in your
own pictures by examining the straight
edges of a subject in your picture. You
will see a crisp, clear edge without
the
telltale, prismatic color fringing that is visible
with images shot using inferior optics.
Glass lens elements refract, or bend
lightwaves, as they pass through to
form an image. That’s simply the
naturallyoccurring physics of light. We
use multiple elements and special glass
to help keep the waves focused like a
pinpoint instead of spreading them into
the rainbow of color seen when light
passes through a glass prism. To
diffract a lightwave means
that the ray goes through a change in
direction before passing through the lens.
The change in direction is caused by a
diffraction grating very fine parallel
grooves or slits on the surface. Canon
found that using a concentric diffraction
grating that gets smaller toward the
edges some as fine as tenths of a
micrometer solved many of one
inherent physical limitations of camera
optics. The design also makes it
possible to obtain the same effect as an
Aspherical lens. And taking the
technology a step beyond, we actually
use two single-layer diffractive optical
elements whose diffraction gratings are
bonded together face-to-face. Since
longer wavelengths form an image closer
to the lens due to the large diffractive
angle, and shorter wavelengths form an
image farther from the lens due to the
smaller diffractive angle, putting the DO
elements with conventional glass optics
actually cancels out each other’s
chromatic aberrations and is exceptionally
effective in correcting this optical defect.
The diffraction that occurs with Canon’s
Multi-Layer Diffractive optical elements
actually corrects the optical system’s
chromatic aberrations and improves the
image formation performance.
The net result of Canon’s DO technology
is a lens design with reduced size and
weight while offering higher image quality
than a comparable focal length lens that
incorporates conventional glass optical
elements. It means a new generation of
high-performance lenses that complement
the more compact designs of our latest
SLR film and digital cameras.

Image Stabilizer
No matter how great the lens is, camera
shake can spoil the shot. Blurred
photos due to camera shake usually
occur when the shutter speed is slower
than the reciprocal of the lens focal
length. For example, a shutter speed
slower than 1/200 sec. at the 200mm
focal length can invite a blurred photo
caused by camera shake. In such
cases, a tripod is necessary. However,
a tripod can be a heavy and troublesome
burden when you go hiking or traveling.
There are even places where using
tripods is prohibited. Using a slow
shutter speed then becomes difficult.
To resolve this problem, Canon became
the first manufacturer to incorporate an
Image Stabilizer in an SLR camera lens.
Optical shake is detected by gyro
sensors which provide the data
necessary to shift the image-stabilizing
lens group in parallel to neutralize the
shake. This increases the usable
shutter speed range by up to 2 full
steps for hand-held shooting. Except
for the EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
and EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
lenses, IS lenses have two IS modes.
One is for normal image stabilization
and the other is for panned shots. With
a monopod, the Image Stabilizer on all
IS lenses operates normally as during
hand-held shooting. Also, the EF 300mm
f/2.8L IS USM, EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM,
EF 500mm f/4L IS USM, and EF 600mm
f/4L IS USM lenses have a mechanism
that prevents having the Image Stabilizer
turned on while the lens is mounted on
a tripod.
Floating System
Ordinary lenses are designed to give
the best results when the correction of
aberrations is most effective. This is
usually at the most commonly-used
focusing distances. At other focusing
distances, especially at the closest
focusing distance, aberrations tend to
appear. Canon’s floating system
suppresses aberrations at close
focusing distances. This system adjusts
the gap between certain lens elements
in correspondence to the focusing
distance. The aberration is effectively
corrected. The result is high image
quality with aberrations suppressed at
all focusing distances.
37
36
Circular Aperture
Certain Canon lenses feature a new
Circular Aperture diaphragm unit, which
uses curved aperture blades to provide
for a more rounded opening as the lens
is stopped down. It’s especially effective
at rendering out-of-focus background
highlights as natural rounded shapes. In
lenses such as the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L
IS lens, the lens opening is virtually
circular from f/2.8 to f/5.6. These lenses
retain all the benefits previously available
with Canon’s Electromagnetic Diaphragm
—smooth and consistent stop-down
operation (even at up to 10 fps with the
EOS-1v), near-silent aperture control, and
total absence of mechanical levers or
switches in the lens mount.

AF Stop Feature
AF stop is featured on the EF 300mm
f/2.8L IS USM, EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM,
EF 500mm f/4L IS USM, and EF 600mm
f/4L IS USM lenses. If something passes
between the camera and subject during
autofocusing, pressing the AF stop buttons
momentarily locks the AF to prevent the
focus from shifting to the obstruction
passing by. After the obstruction is gone,
the focus is still maintained on the subject
and you can quickly resume shooting.
The AF stop buttons are positioned at
four locations around the lens grip at the
front of the lens for easy access during
both horizontal and vertical shooting.
Dust- and Water-Resistant
Construction
The new EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM, EF
400mm f/2.8L IS USM, EF 500mm f/4L IS
USM, and EF 600mm f/4L IS USM
lenses are highly dust- and water-
resistant. The switch panel, exterior
seams, and drop-in filter compartment
have rubber linings. Moving parts such
as the focusing ring and switches are
also designed to prevent water and
dust from entering. These lenses can
therefore be used in harsh conditions
without dust and water getting inside.
The lens is equipped with a rubber ring
on the mount to improve its dustproofing
and waterproofing characteristics. As
the lens is repeatedly mounted and
detached, the rubber ring will leave fine
abrasion marks on the outside of the
camera mount. This will not affect operation.
Full-Time Manual Focusing
Canon EF lenses and EOS cameras have
very high AF precision. Optimum focus
can be achieved quickly for almost any
shooting situation. Recent EOS cameras
have been equipped with multiple
focusing points for higher flexibility in
composing a photo while using AF.
Picture-taking is even more flexible with
Canon’s full-time manual focusing which
overrides the autofocusing mode. Lenses
with this feature allow you to switch to
manual focusing even in the AF mode.
You can keep looking through the
viewfinder and touch up the focus
manually without switching the focus
mode switch. Since the focusing ring
does not rotate during autofocusing, we
could make it wider for better holding
comfort and easier manual focusing.
Another ergonomic design which lets
you convey your intentions quickly. Full-
time manual focusing comes in two types.
One is electronic manual focusing where
the rotation amount of the focusing ring
is detected and the focusing motor is
driven electronically. The other type is
mechanical manual focusing where the
rotation of the focusing ring adjusts
the focus mechanically.

These filters utilize the effect of diffraction which
occurs between light passing through the
transparent part and light passing through the
coated part. Use Softmat No. 1 filter for a gentle
softfocus effect, and Softmat No. 2 for a
stronger effect.

Circular Polarizing Filters PL-C
Polarizing filter enhances picture quality by
blocking harmfulreflected light. Use it to
reduce polarized light reflections from glass
and water surfaces or to improve color satura-
tion. Simple to use, circular polarizing filters
(such as Canon’s PL-C) polarize light circularly,
rather than linearly, so it does not interfere
with autofocus or TTL light metering.

Loupe 8x & 4x
The Canon Loupe 4x is a high-performance
magnifier for viewing the entire picture area
(24 x 36mm) of a 35mm-format slide or nega-
tive. With three lens elements in three groups,
chromatic aberration and distortion are effec-
tively corrected to give crystal-clear images.
Eye fatigue is not a problem even after pro-
longed use. Loupe 8x is another magnifier for
viewing the entire picture area, but with spe-
cial emphasis on a 24mm-diameter area at the
center. The four lens elements in four groups
attain high performance and a high magnifica-
tion. All elements have Super Spectra Coating
to make image viewing clear enough for you to
effectively check the quality of photos taken
with EF lenses. These two loupes can make
your evaluation of photos more accurate.
Focus Preset
With the focus preset feature, you can
set the desired focusing distance in
memory and later instantly focus the lens
at that distance. Normal picture-taking
and focusing are possible even while
focus preset has been set. At a soccer
game, for example, you can preset the
focus for the goal. You can focus normally
while the player approaches the goal,
then when the ball is shot into the goal,
you can obtain instant focus.
Fluorite (CaF2) and UD-Glass
The refraction of light differs depending
on the wavelength. The point of focus
therefore differs depending on the
different wavelengths or colors. When
the different wavelengths are focused
at different points, the colors look
smeared. This iscalled chromatic
aberration. The longer the focal length,
the more pronounced chromatic aberration
becomes. Usually, an achromatic
element is used in a lens to correct
chromatic aberration. However, normal
optical glass can only be corrected for
two primary spectral colors. An exception
to this limitation is Fluorite, an ideal
material. Fluorite, which is crystalline,
has abnormally low refraction and low
dispersion characteristics, which optical
glass cannot achieve. It also has
anomalous dispersion from the green
to blue wavelengths. Canon developed
production technologies to manufacture
Fluorite. By incorporating Fluorite in
lenses, the points of focus of the three
primary spectral colors of red, green,
and blue all meet at one point for ideal
correction of chromatic aberration. There
is also UD-glass, which is a special type
of optical glass whose properties nearly
match those of Fluorite. The effect of
two UD-glass elements is equivalent to
having one Fluorite element. And one
super UD-glass element gives almost
the same effect as one Fluorite element.

Large, Fully Electronic
Mount System
The conventional interface between the
lens and camera body was mechanical,
with the use of engaging levers and gears.
This method caused physical problems
such as wear and rattle. It was limited
and more diverse information could not
be exchanged. Canon EF lenses do not
use such mechanical links at all. About
50 items of information are exchanged
as digital signals between the lens and
camera in real time. This enables high-
speed and high-precision control. And
since the lens mount diameter is an
ample 54 mm, special lenses such as
large-aperture lenses and TS-E lenses
can be used. The EF mount is an
advanced interfacing system with
infinite possibilities.
Built-In Motor and EMD
Canon EF lenses (except TS-E and
MP-E lenses) have a built-in AF motor.
Compared to camera body-based AF
motors, lens-based motors have driving
energy with lower transmission loss.
The optimum AF motor for the particular
lens can also be selected and installed.
The AF operation is therefore quick, quiet,
and highly precise. The lenses also have
an EMD (Electromagnetic Diaphragm) to
control the aperture electronically. The
aperture can be set either with an
electronic dial or with the electronic pulse
signal sent according to the exposure
reading. Aperture control precision is
therefore unmatched.
Inner Focusing and
Rear Focusing
An inner focusing lens has the focusing
lens group(s) in front of the diaphragm,
while a rear focusing lens has the focus-
ing lens group(s) behind the diaphragm.
Both focusing systems allow the focusing
lens group to be small. This minimizes
the load on the actuator which drives
the autofocus. In turn, the AF speed is
faster. The whole optical system can also
be made more compact. Also, since the
lens does not rotate during focusing,
the effects of a circular polarizing filter
or gelatin filter remain intact.

Description of Lens Designation
The lens designations follow a standard format to identify the lens.
EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Focal length:
Indicates the focal
length range from
the shortest to
longest length.
(See below for
details.)
Maximum aperture:
Indicates the lens’
maximum aperture.
(See below for
details.)
Special Function:
Any special
feature such as an
image stabilizer,
macro feature, etc.,
is indicated.
USM: Indicates
that the lens uses
an Ultrasonic
Motor for
autofocusing.
(See page 34 for
details.)
Focal Length
A focal length of 50mm is closest to
what the eye sees. This focal length is
used as a reference point for lens
categories. For example, lenses with a
shorter focal length are called wide-angle
lenses, while those with a longer focal
length are called telephoto lenses.
Single focal length lenses have only one
focal length, while zoom lenses have a
range of focal lengths. (When EF lenses
are used with the EOS IX, the focal
length corresponds to 1.25 times that
indicated for 35mm cameras.)
Angle of View
This indicates how much coverage of
the scene you can see through the lens.
Telephoto lenses have a narrower angle
of view than wide-angle lenses.
Angle of View and Perspective
Perspective refers to the distance
between the near and far objects that
you can see at the same time. When the
angle of view is wide (with a shorter focal
length), the perspective becomes more
apparent. And with a narrow angle of
view (with a longer focal length), the
perspective becomes less apparent. The
image also becomes more compressed,
with the far objects looking like they are
right behind the nearer objects.
Maximum Aperture
This indicates the speed of the lens. A
fast lens has a large maximum aperture,
allowing more light to enter. The smaller
the maximum aperture’s f-number, the
larger the aperture opening is. A larger
maximum aperture makes the image
look brighter and easier to see through
the viewfinder. You can also use a
faster shutter speed or obtain better
background blur. On the other hand, a
smaller maximum aperture (the f-number
is larger) allows the lens to be more
compact and light. Single focal length
lenses have only one maximum
aperture while zoom lenses may have
two, one for each end of the focal
length range. For example, a EF 28-80mm
f/3.5-5.6 lens has a maximum aperture
of f/3.5 at 28mm and f/5.6 at 80mm.
Aperture and Shutter Speed
Under the same light level, if the
aperture opening is made larger by one
step, the shutter speed can be increased
by one step. For example, if an aperture
of f/5.6 and shutter speed of 1/60 sec.
are set, adjusting the aperture to f/4 will
enable a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. to
be used. An aperture of f/2.8 will allow
a faster shutter speed of 1/250 sec. while
the same exposure level is maintained.
Depth of Field
Normally, there is only one point of
optimum focus. However, we often see
objects in front of or behind this point
also in focus. This is made possible by
a wide depth of field.
Depth of Field with the
Aperture and Focal Length
The depth of field is mainly determined
by the lens focal length, aperture, and
subject distance. For example, if a wide-
angle lens is used at the minimum
aperture, almost everything in the picture
will be in focus. However, if a telephoto
lens is used at maximum aperture, the
background will be really blurred, making
the subject in focus stand out.
