Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens Key Features and Specifications

"The Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM is a highly regarded ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, especially popular among landscape and architectural photographers.

Here are some key features and benefits:
  • Image Stabilization: It includes an Optical Image Stabilizer, offering up to four stops of correction, which is great for handheld shooting in low light 1.
  • Optical Quality: The lens features three aspheric lens elements and two Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) elements to minimize aberrations and enhance image clarity 1.
  • Build and Handling: It’s robust and weather-sealed, making it suitable for various shooting conditions. Despite its solid build, it’s relatively lightweight and portable 2.
  • Performance: While it has a maximum aperture of f/4, which isn’t the widest, it strikes a good balance between performance and value. It delivers excellent center sharpness, though there might be some sharpness fall-off towards the edges 2." (Microsoft Copilot)
