• Short telephoto prime is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 160mm equivalent focal length.
• Ideal for macro shooting, this lens offers a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 11.8" To suit working with close-up subjects.
• One ultra-low dispersion (UD) element greatly reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color accuracy.
• Super Spectra coating has been applied To individual elements To minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
• An Optical Image Stabilizer helps To minimize the appearance of camera shake To better enable working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds. The effectiveness of this system compensates for up To two stops of camera shake at 1:1 magnification, three stops at 1:2 magnification, and four stops at lower magnifications.
• A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), and internal focusing design, is employed To deliver fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.
• Focus Limiter switch lets you constrain the focusing To three different Ranges for faster focusing performance: 11.8"-1.6', 1.6'-infinity, and the full 11.8"-infinity Range.
• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes To a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and Selective focus techniques.
• As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens is sealed against dust and moisture for working in inclement environmental conditions.
• Optional rotating tripod collar is available and benefits working with the lens atop a tripod or monopod.
