CANON RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM

Canon US 15-35 mm f / 2.8L IS USM lens

Covering a versatile wide-angle focal length range, Canon's RF 15-35mm f / 2.8L IS USM is also characterized by its brilliant constant f / 2.8 maximum aperture. This bright design allows working in available light conditions and also offers greater control over depth of field. The wide focal length range adapts to work in a variety of situations, from landscape to documentary filming, and this zoom is complemented by an advanced optical design that greatly reduces fringes and color distortion for greater clarity and sharpness An Air-Sphere coating has also been applied to reduce flashes and ghost images to improve contrast and color fidelity when working in bright conditions.

Complementing the image capabilities is a suitable Nano USM focusing system, which offers fast and almost silent autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. An image stabilizer also compensates for up to five camera shake stops to help produce sharper manual shots in difficult lighting conditions. A single control ring is also integrated into the lens design for intuitive control over exposure settings from the lens itself. In addition, this 15-35 mm is sealed against the weather and has a fluorine coating to protect the front and rear elements.

The wide angle zoom lens is designed for use with Canon mirrorless cameras with full-frame RF mount.
The constant maximum aperture of f / 2.8 maintains constant illumination throughout the zoom range and adapts to work in available light conditions.
Two UD elements (ultra low dispersion) help minimize chromatic aberrations and color stripes to provide greater clarity and color accuracy.
Three aspherical elements are used to correct spherical aberrations and distortions to improve sharpness and accurate representation.
An air sphere liner (ASC) has been applied to the lens elements to reduce backlighting and phantom effect for sustained light transmission and high contrast in intense lighting conditions.
An optical image stabilizer helps minimize the appearance of camera shake in five stops to allow for better work in low light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
The Nano USM system uses a USM ring mechanism and an STM mechanism to achieve a fast and precise approach that is also smooth and almost silent to adapt to photography and video applications. This focus system also offers full-time manual focus control when working in single-shot AF mode.
The configurable control ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO and exposure compensation.
A protective fluoride layer has been applied to the front and back elements to resist fingerprints and stains and to facilitate cleaning of these elements.
As a member of the esteemed L series, this lens has a weather-resistant design that protects against dust and moisture to allow its use in inclement conditions.
The nine-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to a nice bokeh quality.
