Ultra-wide angle lenses have always been in demand by architectural, corporate, and other top pro photographers.

The lens uses a rear focusing system, high-speed CPU, and a powerful ring-type USM with revised electronics for faster, more responsive AF. This lens continues the proud tradition of superior clarity optics found in L-series Canon lenses.
