Premium image quality

 

Large-diameter double-surface Glass Moulded (GMo) lenses and Ultra Low Dispersion help to significantly improve image distortion and reduce chromatic aberration. While Advanced Air Sphere and SubWavelength coating work to combat ghosting and flare, so you can shoot with confidence in environments with unflattering lighting.

 

Versatile collection of wide-angle focal lengths		Fast constant aperture
EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM features a 16-35mm zoom that incorporates a range of wide-angle focal lengths.		A large, f/2.8 aperture allows you to make the most of available light, while a 9 bladed circular aperture diaphragm helps to deliver stunning depth of field.

 

Durable L-series construction		Advanced autofocus
The robust, durable, weather sealed construction of EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM helps it to withstand the rigours of professional use.		EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM features a ring-type USM motor and high-performance CPU, which work to ensure faster focusing.

 

Should I upgrade?		Optical System
