Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM review
The Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM lens is the ideal entry focal length into
the world of ultra wide-angle photography. A compact, fixed focal length
24mm lens equipped with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology
that offers up to 4 stops of shake correction along with a ring-type USM
and advanced CPU with optimized AF algorithms for fast auto focusing.
Full-time manual focus feature is available for manual focusing even while
in AF mode while a minimum focusing distance of 0.66 ft (0.20m) offers
dramatic wide-angle images. Aspherical lens elements help improve image
quality on the periphery while a 7-blade circular aperture diaphragm
delivers beautiful, soft backgrounds. Lens coatings are also used to help
minimize ghosting and flares. Offering spectacular image quality, silent
and smooth operation in a compact body, it’s the ideal lens for
capturing both stills and video.
