Classic choice with modern capabilities: a standard wide-angle lens loved by photojournalists for its natural perspective, low-light shooting capability, and exceptional optical performance.

• Wide viewing angle with natural perspective
• Top performance in low light and depth of field control
• New standards in image quality
• Fast and discreet focusing
• Keep shooting even in challenging conditions

• Wide viewing angle with natural perspective
• Classic, slightly wide-angle 35mm focal length preferred by documentary photographers for capturing subjects in their environment without perspective distortion.
• Top performance in low light: The large maximum aperture of f/1.4 allows two stops more light compared to an f/2.8 zoom lens.
• Shooting with a large aperture allows photographers to limit the depth of field.
• The lens's nine-blade aperture renders out-of-focus areas smoothly and naturally.
• New standards in image quality: Blue Spectrum Refractive optics address chromatic aberration by correcting color fringing.
• Ultra-low dispersion (UD) optics and two aspherical lens elements provide unparalleled sharpness across the frame.
• Subwavelength Structure Coating enhances contrast and protects against flare and ghosting when shooting in light.
• Fast and discreet focusing: The ring-type USM autofocus motor allows you to focus quickly and almost silently.
• Ability to switch to manual focus at any time.
• Blue Spectrum Refractive (BR) optics address color fringing around objects in shots with large-diameter lenses.
• Keep shooting even in challenging conditions: The build quality of Canon's L-series lenses offers greater durability.
• Sealing components provide protection against dust and moisture.

• Viewing angle (horizontal, vertical, diagonal): 54°, 38°, 63°
• Lens construction (elements/groups): 14/11
• Number of diaphragm blades: 9
• Minimum aperture: 22
