This powerful, constant speed, ultra-wide-angle zoom lens combines excellent precision optics with high flexibility, making it ideal for landscape and architectural photography, photojournalism, travel or as an all-round lens - for razor-sharp wide-angle shots with minimal distortion.
L Series professional lens
The professional L-series lenses are the flagship models in Canon's range and represent EF's world-class precision optics. Each L series lens offers high performance, superior handling and protection against dust and water spray.
Constant speed of 1:4
A constant aperture of 1:4 is ideal for use in a wide range of lighting conditions, as there is no need to change exposure times or ISO settings when zooming.
Razor-sharp images thanks to the 4-step image stabilizer
The EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM provides razor-sharp images in all situations and shows its strengths particularly in low-light use without a tripod or with macro settings. The lens features Canon's 4-stage optical image stabiliser, which detects classic shots or panning movements and automatically selects the optimum IS mode for the shooting situation.
