Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens

The Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM is a compact, high-performance wide-angle prime lens designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs (as well as APS-C bodies where it provides a 38.4mm equivalent focal length and EOS R mirrorless cameras via an EF adapter). Combining a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture with Canon’s four-stop Optical Image Stabilization (IS), it offers exceptional handheld capabilities in low-light environments. Equipped with a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for fast, near-silent autofocus and advanced element coatings, it is a versatile choice for landscape, architectural, street, and travel photography.
