EF-S Lenses

Designed for Digital Lenses

Particularly among advanced amateur and professional photographers, there has been a growing need for affordable zoom lenses that support true wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle photography. Canon initially responded to this demand in August of 2003, when it announced the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens, launched in conjunction with the EOS Digital Rebel.

By reducing the distance from the rear of the lens to the focal plane and reducing the size of the image circle to match the size of the APS-C imaging sensor used in digital SLRs such as the EOS 20D camera and Digital Rebel camera, Canon's EF-S lenses reduce the size, weight and cost of wide-angle lenses for these cameras while at the same time producing high image quality with superb resolution and contrast at all focal lengths.

Standard Zoom EF Lenses

All-Around, Practical Lenses

Very likely, your first EF lens will be (or was) one of these lenses. After all, they feature the most popular focal lengths. From wide-angle to telephoto, you get the best of both worlds. The lenses in this section give you a choice of zoom ranges and maximum apertures. The smaller the maximum aperture, the smaller and lighter the lens. Take a look and get the one suiting your needs and budget.

Ultra Wide Zoom EF Lenses

Getting Everything In

If your mind's eye calls for a very wide shot, how about one of these ultra-wide zoom lenses? The zoom range of these lenses suits the vast majority of wide-angle shots you will ever take.

Telephoto Zoom EF Lenses

Isolate The Interesting Part

The eye tends to see the whole rather than the individual parts. It also sees what's near and not what's far. By bringing attention to those things missed by the eye, you can create many interesting pictures. It could be the grimace of an athlete, the grill of a classic car, or a girl against a blurred background. Telephoto lenses can also compress images to produce dramatic effects. You are limited only by your imagination.
