Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM

A favorite of many, this new version of the classic wide-focal-length lens delivers exceptional sharpness throughout the entire focal range.

Ultra-high-performance wide-angle L-series lens

The EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM is a premium ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture for the highest image quality even in low light.

Should I have upgraded my equipment?

The EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM replaces the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM and will set new standards for image quality in wide-angle zoom lenses.

Optical system

Newly designed optical elements deliver stunning sharpness across the entire frame. A newly designed 5-group mechanism reduces vibration and improves shock resistance.

Lens coatings

Subwavelength and Air Sphere coatings help prevent ghosting and flare from affecting images.

9-blade diaphragm

Compared to the 7-blade annular aperture of the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM, the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM has a 9-blade annular aperture, allowing you to create wonderfully soft background focus.
