Compact and easy to use
Weighing just 270g and measuring less than 70mm in length this diminutive and highly popular lens deserves a place in any kit bag. On EOS cameras featuring APS-C sized sensors the lens gives an angle of view equivalent to 38mm on a full-frame camera making it an ideal everyday optic for prime lens shooters.
Fast maximum aperture
A maximum aperture of f/2.8 allows fast flash-free shooting in low-light settings and good control over depth of field.
Fully Electronic Lens Mount
An integrated AF motor provides fast autofocusing performance. The lens' electromagnetic diaphragm ensures incredibly accurate control over aperture positioning.
Super Spectra coating
Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate colour balance and enhance contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting – a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor.
