Designed for Canon's digital SLRs (digital cameras usually multiply the focal length of a lens, compared to the same body in a 35mm film configuration), this lens serves as a normal zoom for pixel-pushers while providing a superb ultrawide zoom lens for film fanatics. If you own both digital and film-based EOS cameras, you are getting two lenses for the price of one!

Uses three aspheric elements plus UD glass to allow for a small, light lens that is neverthless sharp and true throughout its range. It's also dust- and weather-resistant.

Use it for scenery, interiors, and events on your film camera, or as a short-normal zoom lens for all-around photography on your digital. Either way, you'll get great pictures from this fast and sturdy professional-grade zoom lens!

Focuses to within 11" of the subject. 77mm filter ring. --be sure to get at least a UV filter to protect the lens!
