Constant f/2.8 aperture A fast f/2.8 aperture delivers impressive low light performance and depth-of-field control. The aperture is fixed over the full focal range, allowing photographers to maintain a constant fast shutter speed when zooming. Fast, quiet auto focus A ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor) drives extremely rapid auto focus with near-silent operation. Full time mechanical manual focus override is available without having to switch out of AF. The lens offers a minimum focusing distance of 0.28m throughout the zoom range. Good background bokeh A circular barrel aperture helps to create attractive, even background bokeh when isolating subjects at wide apertures. UD and aspherical elements The EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM incorporates three aspherical elements to ensure corner-to-corner sharpness and clarity throughout the focal range. Two UD (Ultra Low Dispersion) elements virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations. Super Spectra coatings Super Spectra lens coatings suppress flare and ghosting - more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection off the image sensor. Coatings also help maintain accurate colour balance and high contrast. Passes distance information to E-TTL II The lens passes distance information back to the camera's E-TTL II flash system for consistently accurate flash metering. Accessories The EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens comes supplied with a lens hood and soft case. * The above SRP is Canon's Suggested Retail Price including VAT, prices may vary from high street stores.
