This category features lenses with the most popular focal lengths, from wide-angle to telephoto, and a variety of apertures. Having one of these is a must for any EOS camera system.
These lenses let you capture more by broadening the angle of view and increasing the depth of field bringing more area into focus. By expanding the apparent distance between the foreground and background, they provide a unique perspective. Their exceptional compactness allows for greater mobility.
For a more natural angle of view and perspective, choose from one of these lenses. These lenses will provide you with the image closest to how your eye perceives the subject and they are excellent for portraits and for giving images natural depth of field.
Telephoto lenses not only let you close-in on a subject, but also allow you to zoom in on a subject that you cannot get close to. The longer focal lengths effectively compress the distance between the subject and camera to capture the details and the feeling of a far-off scene.
Nothing quite compares to the amount of dimension a super telephoto lens can bring to a photograph. All the lenses in the category are part of the L-series, incorporating superior lens construction and USM for quiet, high-speed autofocusing.
To bring small things into full-sized view, select from one of the lenses in this category. Macro lenses can uncover detail that would be impossible to detect by the eye and give new perspective to extremely minute subjects such as insects or the petals of a small flower.
These lenses expand photographic possibilities. Tilt movements allow you to obtain a wide depth of field even at the maximum aperture and still keep the entire subject in focus. Shift movements correct the trapezoidal effect seen in pictures taken of tall objects, so as not to distort the subject.
