A true modern classic: a standard wide-angle lens beloved by reportage photographers for its natural perspective, low-light capability and extraordinary optical performance.Offers a wide-angle view with a natural perspectiveA classic, slightly wide-angle 35mm focal length, loved by documentary photographers for its ability to capture a subject within its environment without distorting perspective.Superb low-light performanceA large f/1.4 maximum aperture lets in two stops more light than an f/2.8 zoom lens, making this an ideal lens for hand-held photography in low-light conditions. Shooting at wide apertures allows photographers to limit depth of field. Creating such shallow-focus effects is one way that a subject can be made to stand out against a background, and is particularly effective when combined with the lens's wide-angle field of view. The lens's nine-bladed aperture renders out-of-focus areas smoothly and naturally.Sets new standards in image qualityBlue Spectrum Refractive optics, made from an organic optical material developed by Canon, tackle color fringing by correcting chromatic aberrations to a degree not previously possible. Ultra Low-Dispersion (UD) optics and two aspherical lens elements provide incredible sharpness right across the frame - even when the lens is used wide open. Subwavelength structure coating boosts contrast and guards against flare and ghosting when shooting into the light.Focuses quickly and discreetly, letting you capture the unexpectedRing-type USM autofocus establishes accurate focus quickly and in near silence, letting you work without disturbing the scene. Full-time manual focusing allows focus adjustments without changing focus mode or removing your camera from your eye.Keep shooting even in tough conditionsCanon's legendary L-series build-quality inspires confidence and adds durability. Weather sealing guards against dust and moisture, while a fluorine coating protects the lens's front and rear element from grease and dirt, and makes it easier to clean.Blue Spectrum Refractive opticsCanon developed Blue Spectrum Refractive (BR) optics to tackle colored fringing in large-diameter lenses. This bespoke organic optical material is more effective at correcting such fringing than other technologies, like fluorite, Ultra Low-Dispersion (UD) or Super UD glass. Colored fringing is caused by chromatic aberration - a phenomenon where light of different colors is focused at different points. Using BR optical material in the EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM minimizes this effect. Other elements in the lens can then be optimized to give superb sharpness, contrast and resistance to flare..
L-series wide-angle single focus lens introduces Canon's newly-developed optical element, BR Optics, which helps produce impressively high quality images by helping to maximize performance and reduce chromatic aberration.
Two aspheric lenses and one UD lens help provide a high level of image quality.
Improved durability for use in harsh environments helps ensure reliability and dependability.
Subwavelength Coating (SWC) helps significantly reduce lens ghosting and flare.
Shortest minimum focusing distance in its class 11.02" (28cm) and increased maximum magnification (0.21x) help expand the range of expression, especially when capturing close-up subjects.
