With a minimum focusing distance of 11 inches (at 24mm), this new L series wide-angle zoom lens is ideal for professionals who want sharp, crisp detail from all angles with minimal distortion. The new optical array accurately reproduces straight lines in the subject with minimal distortion, making it ideal for architecture, landscape, event, and forensic photography. Other noteworthy features include: one Super UD element and one UD lens element (which help significantly reduce chromatic aberration and deliver sharp images with high resolution), Canon’s advanced lens coating technologies (helps prevent ghosting and flare), the meticulously-designed inner focusing system and zoom ring, a built-in petal type lens hood with light-shielding grooves, and the full-time manual focus feature (allows manual focus adjustment even in AF mode). Also, this durable new lens is highly resistant to dust and water, and has a fluorine coating on the front and rear surfaces of the lens which helps reduce smears and fingerprints and makes the lens easier to clean.<br>
