Two aspherical lenses effectively correct field curvature and other aberrations for superior imaging performance.
The use of UD lenses ensures sharp, clear image quality with minimal color shift, even at the edges of the frame.
The use of a seven-blade circular aperture creates beautiful bokeh.
The newly designed four-group zoom and high-precision, large-aperture, plastic-molded aspherical lens elements make this lens compact. Weighing just 240g, it offers excellent portability and can be easily carried around.
Similarly quiet and smooth AF is achieved even during Live View shooting (excluding Quick AF).
When shooting through the viewfinder, a high-speed CPU and optimized AF algorithm ensure quiet, fast, and highly accurate AF.
It is the first wide-angle zoom EF-S lens to feature image stabilization, achieving compensation equivalent to four shutter speed stops* (in accordance with CIPA guidelines).
The dynamic angle of view unique to wide-angle lenses allows you to enjoy wide landscape photography with an enhanced sense of perspective. The wide angle of view captures the atmosphere and situation even in tight spaces where you can't zoom out. The deep focus allows you to capture the details of landscapes with depth and towering buildings. The fun distortion effect creates a deformed appearance when you get close, creating adorable images of children and pets. Image stabilization expands your photographic possibilities. IS lenses feature in-lens image stabilization, which shifts part of the optical system parallel to compensate for camera shake when you half-press the shutter button. This minimizes blur during handheld shooting, ensuring clear, high-quality image quality. It's also effective for close-up shots where small shakes are a concern, or for shooting in unstable positions like a moving car or on a boat. It also expands photographers' freedom and enables richer photographic expression when capturing subjects farther away than the flash can reach. A new photographic expression: This ultra-wide-angle zoom lens delivers dynamic captures of breathtaking landscapes. Its compact size makes it easy to carry around in your bag. Embark on a new world of expression. The minimum focusing distance is just 22cm, allowing you to get this close to your subject. Capture a large subject and a wide background for a dynamic shot. Capture such a wide field of view.
