Description
This new lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done - replace the previous L-series 28-70 f/2.8 lens with something even better. Extended coverage to an ultra-wide angle 24mm makes it ideal for digital as well as film shooters, and the optics are even better than before with two Aspherical elements and a totally new UD glass element. It's now sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture, and a new processing unit makes the AF faster than ever.
- Improved Autofocus speed over it's predecessor
- 2 Aspherical elements for high image quality through the zoom range
- 1 UD element to effectively correct chromatic aberration at wide angle
- Highly effective dust and moisture protection
- Class leading minimum focus distance of only 38cm
- Non-rotating front element during focus
- Great for portraits with f/2.8 providing shallow depth of field and good bokeh.

An L lens is a line of SLR photography lenses made by Canon. L lenses are Canon's top-of-the-line lenses. The "L" officially stands for "Luxury", a reference to the lenses' high price and build.
L-lenses have superior optical performance and are typically built with a solid construction to withstand constant use and harsh conditions. They can be recognized by a red ring around the front part of the lens. Most recent L lenses have sealing to help resist dust and water. L-lenses are typically used by professionals and serious amateurs due to their high price and large mass.
Most L series lenses share a number of common characteristics:
- Tough build, made to withstand the trials on the fields (some incorporating dust and moisture resistant rubber seals).
- At least one fluorite or ultra-low dispersion glass element, combined with super-low dispersion glass and ground aspherical elements.
- Non-rotating front elements, which are optimal for some filters (e.g. circular polarizers).
- Relatively large apertures compared to other Canon lenses in the same focal lengths.
- Where included, true ring-type USM (ultrasonic motor) and full-time manual focusing.
- Three additional data communication pins on Canon Extender EF compatible lenses, compared to the standard EF mount.
