Wide and Bright F2.8 Aperture

This addition to the L-Series family can produce some beautiful bokeh and can perform exceptionally well in low light conditions thanks to the wide, bright and constant F2.8 aperture. When coupled with some of the excellent Canon Mirrorless Cameras, this lens will not disappoint and is an ideal option for sports or wildlife photographers.

Dual Nano USM

The Dual Nano USM motors found inside this lens are what makes this lens a top-tier L-Series lens. These motors are going to provide silent, quick and smooth autofocusing. This makes this lens perfect for sports and wildlife photography when you need to get focus as quickly and accurately as possible.

5-stop Image Stabiliser and Lens Control

That’s right, 5-Stops of Image Stabilisation makes this even more ideal for sports and wildlife photography. If that wasn’t enough, the added lens control rings mean that you can change settings while still viewing the subject. No more losing your subject whilst tracking and needing to change the aperture.

Understanding: Aperture

Aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light enters the camera. It's measured in f-stops like f/2.8 or f/8. Lower f-stop numbers mean wider openings, letting in more light and creating a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Higher f-stop numbers mean smaller openings, letting in less light and creating a larger depth of field (more of the scene in focus). Aperture also affects the quality of out-of-focus areas in the image (bokeh).

Understanding: Lens Types

Different lenses have different purposes to achieve different styles of images, some popular ones include:
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length, sharp images, great for portraits and dark settings.
Zoom Lens: Variable focal length, versatile for different shots and everyday use..
Wide-Angle Lens: Captures wide scenes like landscapes.
Telephoto Lens: Magnifies distant subjects, ideal for sports & wildlife.
Macro Lens: Perfect for close-up photography of small subjects.
Fisheye Lens: Ultra-wide perspective, creates unique images.

Understanding: Lens Mounts

Different camera brands use different lens mounts, which are like connectors that attach lenses to camera bodies. Each mount is specific to a particular brand and camera series. For example, Canon uses the EF and RF mounts, Nikon uses the F mount, Sony uses the E mount for its mirrorless cameras. These mounts dictate which lenses are compatible with which cameras. Some brands offer adapters to use lenses from other systems, but it's essential to ensure compatibility for proper functionality and autofocus performance.

Understanding: Manual and Autofocus

Manual focus and autofocus are two ways to adjust the sharpness of a camera lens. With manual focus, you turn a ring on the lens to bring the subject into focus yourself, giving you full control over what appears sharp in the image. Autofocus, on the other hand, relies on the camera's built-in technology to automatically adjust the focus for you, usually by detecting contrast or phase differences in the scene. Autofocus can be convenient, especially for fast-moving subjects or when you need to capture a quick shot, whereas manual focus allows for precise adjustments and creative control over the final image.
