Ultra-wide and stabilized,
the Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM is a uniquely versatile zoom
characterize by its broad range, constant f/4 maximum aperture, and advanced
optical design. Gaining a bit on the wide end, this zoom offers a broader field
of view to suit landscape, nature, and architectural applications, and its
modest maximum aperture also contributes to a sleek, highly portable design for
walkaround shooting.
In terms of optics, the lens is befitting of its L-series
designation and features three aspherical elements and three UD elements that
produce a highly corrected image with high sharpness and accurate color
rendering. A trio of unique coatings have also been applied to suppress flare
and ghosting throughout the zoom rang. The L-series designation is also
indicative of a robust physical design, and this 14-35mm is weather-sealed and
features a fluorine coating on the exposed elements for further protection
against trying weather conditions.
Unique among ultra-wides, this lens is also distinguished
by its Optical Image Stabilizer that compensates for up to 5.5 stops of camera
shake, or up to 7 stops when paired with cameras featuring IBIS. Additionally,
there is also an apt Nano USM that yields fast and quiet autofocus performance
and there is a minimum focusing distance of just 7.9" throughout the entire
zoom range for creative wide-angle close-up shooting.
Wide-angle zoom lens is designed
for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras.
Constant f/4 maximum aperture
maintains consistent illumination throughout the zoom range.
An Optical Image Stabilizer helps
to minimize the appearance of camera shake by 5.5 stops to better enable
working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
Up to 7 stops of correction when
used on EOS R-series cameras with In-Body Image Stabilization.
Nano USM system utilizes both a
ring type USM and an STM mechanism to realize quick and accurate focusing that
is also smooth and nearly silent to suit both photography and video
applications. This focusing system also affords full-time manual focus control
when working in the one-shot AF mode.
Configurable Control Ring can be
used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and
exposure compensation.
As a member of the esteemed
L-series, this lens has a weather-resistant design that protects against dust
and moisture to enable its use in inclement conditions.
