Plus, this bright aperture helps achieve beautiful background separation and depth of field control, perfect for creative bokeh effects.

4. Advanced Optical Design for Sharp, Clear Images

   • This lens is equipped with three aspherical elements that help reduce distortion and enhance sharpness across the image frame. Canon's Super Spectra Coating further enhances contrast and color fidelity by reducing lens flare and ghosting, especially when shooting in bright or backlit conditions. Every shot will be crisp and true to life.

5. STM Stepping Motor for Smooth, Quiet Autofocus
