Description
This is a true rectilinear ultra-wide-angle lens that's absolutely corrected for linear distortion - straight lines remain straight. It's outstanding for shooting in confined areas and interiors, and is often used by professionals because of the unique €œlook€ its extreme wide-angle perspective provides.
This lens features completely redesigned optics, including two high-precision Aspherical elements and two UD-glass elements. This results in better contrast and sharpness at the outer edges, and a reduction in chromatic aberrations that can sometimes be seen with high-resolution digital SLRs.
The 14mm f/2.8L II USM lens uses a rear focusing system, high-speed CPU, and a powerful ring-type USM with revised electronics for faster, more responsive AF. This wide aperture lens is the ideal choice for architectural, corporate, or other pro-level photography.
