What canon says about the new lens .
  • New standard for superb optics
  • High-end durable construction and performance in professional zoom lenses.

  • In addition, 2 types of aspherical lenses are combined to help reduce spherical aberration over the entire image area as well as through the full zoom range.
  • Optimized lens coatings also help ensure exceptional color balance while minimizing ghosting.
