A classic wide-angle focal length with a wide maximum
aperture for low light shooting
The design of the EF 28mm f/1.8 USM provides a
balance between affordability and optical performance,
while its fast f/1.8 maximum aperture permits
hand-held shooting in low light.
The lens’ large maximum aperture of f/1.8 ensures
photographers can use fast shutter speeds in a variety
of different lighting conditions, and blur backgrounds by
controlling depth-of-field. An aspherical lens element corrects
distortion and ensures the image is sharp across the frame.
When fitted to EOS cameras with APS–C sized sensors,
the EF 28mm f/1.8 USM offers a field of view equivalent
to a 45mm lens on a full-frame camera, making this an
ideal fast-aperture standard lens.

“ Using a lens with a wide
maximum aperture (small
f-number) can give you great
separation between your
subject and the background,
drawing attention to the main
subject and giving a really
professional look to your
photographs”

EF 28mm f/2.8
A compact, affordable wide-angle lens that’s useful
in a host of different situations
Thanks to its diminutive, lightweight design, the EF

lens on DSLRs with APS–C sized sensors.
Weighing in at just 185g, this is a lens you can take wherever
you go. On EOS DSLRs with APS–C sized sensors it makes
a great standard lens, offering the same field of view
as a 45mm lens on a full frame DSLR.
