Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM



A special perspective
Covering a breathtaking 114° field of view, the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM goes beyond human
perspective. Ideal for capturing small interiors, large subjects at close distances or
dramatic landscapes, this highly expressive lens can also be used to create a strong
sense of separation between close subjects and background.
L-series construction
Like all L-series lenses, the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM combines precision optics with
unsurpassed build quality, reliability and ease of use. Dust and moisture seals offer
advanced protection from the elements, even in harsh weather conditions.
Large f/2.8 aperture
A maximum aperture of f/2.8 allows for fast, flash-free shooting in low light settings, plus
good depth of field control.
Aspherical and UD elementsFor optimum visual performance, the lens incorporates two types of special
elements: aspherical elements to correct spherical aberrations, and Super UD
(ultra-low dispersion) elements to eliminate secondary chromatic aberrations. The
result is crisp, high contrast and undistorted image quality all the way to the frame
peripheries.
Ring USM auto focus with manual override Canon’s ring USM auto focus system employs ultra-sonic frequency vibrations for
fast, accurate and virtually silent operation with excellent holding torque. Full-time
manual focus override, via a large ring that does not rotate during auto focus,
allows photographers to begin fine-tuning a shot instantly.
Super Spectra coating
Super Spectra coatings help ensure accurate colour balance and high contrast, and
suppress flare and ghosting by absorbing light that might be reflected off internal
lens elements and digital EOS sensors.
Circular aperture
A circular aperture delivers smooth, even-looking bokeh (background blur) - ideal for
isolating subjects at large aperture, or compelling portraiture.
AccessoriesThe EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM features an integrated petal hood to protect the front lens
element, improve contrast and prevent vignetting. A lens cap and soft case are supplied.
The exacting professional`s ultra wide-angle lens, the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM uses UD
and aspherical elements for paramount image quality. A maximum f/2.8
aperture ensures great low light performance.
