The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 lens is small, lightweight device for standard wide-angle photography that can be transported easily. This lens is designed for shooting landscapes and for basic point-and-shoot photography. The lens' optical image stabilizer allows a photographer to shoot up to four stops slower than usual, making it a handy option for low-light photography. It also comes with a very fast autofocus that is quiet too thanks to the ring-type UltraSonic Motor and an advanced central processing unit. The lens features a seven-blade circular aperture diaphragm that produces stunning backgrounds. In addition, the molded glass lens also delivers high performance and high-contrast image quality. There is a mechanical manual focus feature for photographers who want to maintain complete control of their work.
