This standard lens from Canon features superb image quality and portability. Two high-refraction lens elements and new Gaussian optics eliminate astigmatism and suppress astigmatic difference. Even at the maximum aperture, the EF 50mm f/1.4 delivers images which are sharp across the frame.

At just 130g, this is currently the lightest in Canon’s EF range of lens.  The second revision of this popular lens is extremely compact and delivers a high-performance for a standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances.  For a standard lens, the colour balance is excellent.

This is an all round 11.1x zoom lens, ideal for dedicated amateurs, and (semi-) professionals to use for countless situations and occasions, such as landscape, architecture, portrait, wedding, wildlife, holidays, expeditions and general travel photography. It is therefore also ideal for news- and press photographers. With a zoom range of 27-300mm (35mm equiv.) the user does not need to carry multiple lenses and therefore can it be seen as the perfect total package. On top of this the lens is equipped with “VR II” the second generation of Nikon’s VR technology that enables the lens to shoot 4 stops slower (instead of 3 stops with the former VR system), ideal for shooting in low light conditions and/or without a tripod. At the time of launch it is the industry’s first VR II lens with 4 stops slower shutter speed.

The Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8 L USM is one of the most popular lenses in the EF range.  Its short to mid-telephoto focal length range makes it ideal for a variety of different scenarios and is particularly favoured by portrait, wedding and sports photographers.  The constant maximum f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range makes it an excellent choice for action-stopping in low light situations.  This lens is also compatible with Canon’s Extenders; EF 1.4x and 2x.
