EF 35mm f/1.4L USM
A classic wide-angle standard lens with fast aperture
and rapid ultrasonic focusing
Beloved by reportage photographers for its natural
view of the world and fast maximum aperture,
the EF 35mm f/1.4L USM delivers superb image
quality and blisteringly fast AF performance.
The EF 35mm f/1.4L USM has a maximum aperture
many stops faster than that found on a standard zoom
lens, allowing a photographer to keep shooting hand-held
when light levels begin to fall. An Ultrasonic Motor (USM)
enables extremely fast focusing in near silence, and a
floating lens element means consistent sharpness
throughout the focusing range.

EF 35mm f/2
An alternative standard prime lens for photographers
who prefer a wider view of the world
On full-frame cameras, the compact EF 35mm f/2
offers a wide angle of view and a very natural perspective,
making it a good alternative standard lens to a
traditional 50mm optic.
A minimum focusing distance of just 25cm enables
photographers to get closer to their subjects while retaining
a more natural, wide-angle perspective. The lens’ fast
aperture means depth-of-field can be restricted for blurred
backgrounds and photographers can shoot hand-held even
when light levels fall.
