Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens

The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens has a large maximum aperture of f/1.8 to ensure photographers can use a variety of fast shutter speeds.

The EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens has a large maximum aperture of f/1.8to ensure photographers can use fast shutter speeds in a variety of different lighting conditions.

Fast and wide

The lens' large maximum aperture of f/1.8 ensures photographers can use fast shutter speeds in a variety of different lighting conditions, and blur backgrounds by controlling depth of field. An aspherical lens element corrects distortion and ensures the image is sharp across the frame.
When fitted to EOS cameras with APS-C sized sensors, the EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens offers a field of view equivalent to a 45mm lens on a full-frame camera, making this an ideal fast-aperture standard lens.

Ultrasonic focusing

A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near silence. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is reached accurately, without overshooting. Furthermore, full-time manual override is available, making it possible to adjust focus without leaving AF mode.

Super Spectra coating

Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate colour balance and enhance contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting ? a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor.

Integration with E-TTL II flash metering

The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens passes distance information back to a compatible EOS camera's E-TTL II flash system to ensure optimal flash metering.

Delivering a comfortable wide-angle field of view, the EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens from Canon balances a versatile perspective with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture for controlling depth of field and working in low-light conditions. Complementing the fast and wide design, the optical design incorporates one aspherical element to help control distortion and reduce spherical aberrations in order to achieve greater sharpness and clarity. A Super Spectra coating has also been applied to minimize surface reflection, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast when working in strong lighting. Additionally, this lens sports a ring-type USM for quick and quiet autofocus performance and full-time manual focus override.

• Wide-angle prime is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 44.8mm equivalent focal length.
• Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light and affords control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques.
• One aspherical element limits distortion and spherical aberration in order to realize greater sharpness and accurate rendering.
• Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
• A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) is employed to deliver fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.
• Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
