LensEF16-35mmf/4LISUSM: High fidelity, superb performance and wide angle of view
The capabilities of the EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM are sure to please professionals and amateurs alike who like to shoot wide-angle – such as landscapes and architecture – as well as those who frequently have to shoot in confined spaces. This lens combines ease of use, superior optical quality and a constant maximum aperture of f/4 for sharp images even in the most difficult situations.
The new EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM is the first in Canon’s ultra-wide-angle series, and includes our acclaimed proprietary optical Image Stabilization IS technology, which achieves a four-stop exposure advantage over conventional lenses and delivers superb detail in every frame. The newly redesigned image stabilization system incorporates a number of additional enhancements, including gyroscopic sensors for improved accuracy during normal shooting and when waving the camera behind a moving subject.
State-of-the-art optical technology and design
Photographers can focus quickly with a powerful, fast and quiet autofocus AF system based on Canon’s innovative Ultrasonic Motor USM ring type system, which is particularly effective in Intelligent Tracking Mode AI Servo AF . Achieving complete control over your composition is further aided by the manual focus ring, which is always available in both manual and auto modes to enable you to fine-tune your focus when necessary.
The optical design delivers superior image quality with two ultra-low dispersive UD glass lenses to minimize chromatic aberrations and prevent color fringing. Super Spectra coatings reduce glare and ghost images, while fluorine coatings on the front and back lens protect surfaces from dust and moisture. The 9-blade circular aperture lets photographers see beautifully blurred backgrounds and bokeh effects.
External lens design optimized for maximum ease of use and professional results. High-end design offers a compact, lightweight lens that fits comfortably in your hand and gives intuitive access to zoom and focus controls.

See bigger, shoot bigger – The EF-S10-18mmf/4.5-5.6ISSTM
EF-S 10-18mm f/4 Lens.5-5.6 IS STM is the ideal solution for those who want to widen the focal length range of their photographic equipment and want to shoot wide-angle . An impressive super-wide-angle range of 10-18mm focal lengths makes it easy to capture a variety of subjects – from sweeping landscapes and cityscapes to group shots at parties and parties in confined spaces. Canon’s expertise in optical design has produced a remarkably compact and lightweight lens that fits easily into a camera bag or even a small travel bag or backpack.
A four-stop optical Image Stabiliser ensures consistently sharp stills and movies when shooting handheld, and Canon’s STM technology ensures confident autofocus during photography and near-silent autofocus in movie mode. In conjunction with EOS digital SLR cameras supporting autofocus during movie recording, STM technology delivers smooth continuous focusing – ideal for tracking a moving subject in the frame – and smooth focus transfers. Quiet autofocus avoids unwanted noise in movies, giving you clear, true-to-life video footage. EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM includes an ultra-low dispersion UD glass optical element and various optimized lens coatings to help deliver superb image quality across the entire focal length range.

Are these Canon lenses compatible with all Canon DSLR cameras?
Are these lenses suitable for capturing sharp and detailed wide-angle shots in both outdoor and indoor settings?
Can you provide more information on the specifications and features of the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM and EF-S 10-18mm f/4 ultra-wide-angle zoom lenses?
The Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens is a professional-grade ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for Canon’s full-frame DSLR cameras. It has a focal length range of 16-35mm, providing a wide field of view and allowing for capturing expansive landscapes or architecture. With a maximum aperture of f/4, it offers good low-light performance. The lens also features image stabilization (IS) technology, which helps in reducing camera shake and producing sharper images.
The EF-S 10-18mm f/4 ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, on the other hand, is designed specifically for Canon’s APS-C format DSLR cameras. It offers a focal length range of 10-18mm, which is equivalent to approximately 16-28.8mm in full-frame terms. This lens is ideal for landscape, architecture, and interior photography where a wider perspective is desired. With a maximum aperture of f/4, it may not perform as well in low-light situations compared to lenses with larger apertures.
Both lenses utilize Canon’s Ultrasonic Motor (USM) technology, providing fast and quiet autofocus. They also have a minimum focusing distance, allowing for close-up shots with a unique perspective. However, it’s important to note that the EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens is weather-sealed, making it more resistant to dust and moisture compared to the EF-S 10-18mm f/4 lens.
Overall, these lenses offer great options for capturing wide-angle shots, with the EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM being more suitable for professional full-frame cameras, while the EF-S 10-18mm f/4 lens is specifically designed for APS-C cameras.
The Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM is a versatile wide-angle zoom lens with a constant f/4 maximum aperture and image stabilization. It is designed for full-frame Canon DSLR cameras and features high-quality optics for sharp images, minimal distortion, and excellent color accuracy. The lens also has weather-sealed construction, fast and silent autofocus, and a minimum focusing distance of 0.92 feet.
On the other hand, the EF-S 10-18mm f/4 ultra-wide-angle zoom lens is specifically designed for Canon APS-C sensor cameras. It offers a focal length range equivalent to 16-29mm on a full-frame camera, making it ideal for landscape, architecture, and interior photography. The lens features image stabilization, a compact and lightweight design, and a close focusing distance of 0.22m.
