    Product Description

    CANON EF Lens - Treat yourself to the smallest, lightest zoom in the 28-105 class. Filter Size - 58mm Maximum Diameter x Length - 2.9 x 2.8 Weight - 0.82 pounds. The 28 105mm canon ef standard zoom lens retains the optical capability of Canon’s previous EF 28-105mm USM lens but with a refined exterior design. The lens is distinguished by a ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM) drive that provides silent, high-speed autofocusing, along with full-time manual focusing. The 1.6-foot close-focusing distance, meanwhile, lets you take great close-up portraits and nature shots. A good match for the Canon EOS A2/A2e or ELAN 7 series cameras with built-in flashes, the EF 28-105mm lens is an excellent zoom lens for everyday use. The lens carries a one-year warranty..

    Customer SLR Camera Lens Reviews

    Terrific lens canon ef for all-around use.4
    For the times when I want to travel light and only take one lens, I usually throw this lens on. Through its entire focal range, it does a great job. Its performance is exceptional considering it’s not an “L” grade lens.

    The lens is constructed well and has a nice feel. I have an Elan 7e body and this slr camera lens complements it very nicely. The Ultrasonic motor is definitely a nice touch. You can’t even hear the lens focusing it’s so quiet, not to mention fast. I find that 28-105mm is a great range for everyday shooting, and if you’re into taking closeups, it has a fairly good macro mode (although I wish it could be a little better…Nikon’s equivalent lens has a macro reproduction ratio of about 2.7:1, which this lens doesn’t come close to…but it’s a Nikon…bleh) I would advise anyone buying this lens 105mm to also purchase the accessory hood that’s available for it.

    I’m happy I chose this EF instead of the alternate EF-S5

    I needed to replace the lens on my Canon Rebel XT D-SLR. The EF-S on first glance seemed like the perfect replacement since Canon produced the EF-S series specifically for the compressed sensor D-SLR line. After weighing the pros and cons of the two, I chose this EF lens largely on the basis of price. It was the right choice, and I haven’t found any loss of features or quality.

    Multiplying the range by 1.6 for a 35mm equivalence (if you have a Rebel XT, 20D or 30D), this model is really just a slightly wide angle to stronger telephoto zoom. (about 45mm-170mm if it was a 35mm film camera) If this range suits you, then this lens is an excellent value over a EF-S wide-angle/telephoto zoom. You’ll keep all of the features, save money and have a faster lens.

    The slr camera lens EF series meshes well with the current line of Canon digital SLRs. In addition, unlike the EF-S series, they are compatible with all of the Canon EOS products including higher-end cameras like the Mark II.

    SPECIFIC OBSERVATIONS FROM WEEKS OF USE:
    My first concern before purchasing this lens was the MINIMUM FOCUS DISTANCE of 0.5 meters, or approximately 18 inches. I do a lot of macro work transferring images into digital, so I was a tad worried. However, after getting the lens and zooming in, I realized that the focusing distance wasn’t really an issue after all. In most cases, I could manage to stand six or so inches further away and still get a highly magnified shot. So that you can see that the macro function works well, I’ve uploaded an image of a small hamster photographed at 102mm.

    My second concern was lens QUALITY AND SHARPNESS, particularly in the wide-angle setting near the edges of the photo. This lens exceeded my expectations. So that you can see the quality of this lens 105mm, I’ve uploaded an uncropped picture of the SF Bay Bridge taken at the 28mm wide-angle setting. You’ll see that the photo is sharp all the way through the edges of the frame. (it is a web-sized jpeg, so you should take that into consideration and use it mainly to see the sharpness of the photo, particularly near the outside edges)

    I did get an unexpected bonus with this lens. The MANUAL FOCUS ring is in the front. I love it. Disabling the auto-focus is a snap, and the position and feel of the manual focus is perfect for sports or social activities where the subject is often not the closest object. The ring itself is ridged and made of rubber, making handling a breeze.

    While I hadn’t expected to replace my stock lens so soon, I think it ended up for the best. This lens 105mm is actually superior to the one that came with the XT. I lost some wide-angle function but gained much more telephoto. The price is excellent and the quality of the lens is high.

    Versatile and quick5
    I am very satisfied with the overall performance of  28 105mm canon ef. It focuses instantly and silently. USM is definitely an advantage and that was one of the reasons why I preferred Canon over other brands. The high pitched sound associated with focusing becomes quite irritating even at occasions when you do not need a silent operation. With a USM lens you do not hear anything and this is really fascinating. This lens produces very clear photos and is definitely better than the Canon EF 28-90 lens which is usually sold with the body for three reasons: 1. The grip feels much better. 2. The lens provides a larger aperture at longer focal lenghts. 3. Basically it has a focal length of 28-105 mm (vs 28-90). Even if there is a significant price difference I would suggest the 28-105 mm. You will NOT regret it.

    Amazon.com Product Description

    Broaden your perspective with the canon ef 17 40mm lens. Ideal for both film and digital SLR cameras, the EF lens offers three aspherical lens elements in addition to a Super UD (ultra-low dispersion) glass element, creating superior optics in all conditions. In addition, the lens canon ef focuses as close as 11 inches (0.28mm), and offers both Canon’s full-time manual focus and a powerful ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM) that produces fast and silent autofocus. Other features include a constant f/4 maximum aperture, the choice of screw-in 77mm filters or a holder in the rear of the lens for up to three gel filters, and optical coatings optimized for use with digital cameras. Boasting weather-resistant construction similar to other high-end L-series cameras, the ef zoom lens carries a one-year warranty.

    • Focal length: 17 40mm
    • Maximum aperture: 1:4
    • Lens construction: 12 elements in 9 groups
    • Diagonal angle of view: 104 to 57 degrees (at 30 feet)

    • Zoom system: Rotating type
    • Filter size: 77mm
    • Dimensions: 3.3 inches in diameter, 3.8 inches long
    • Weight: 1.1 pounds

    From the Manufacturer
    A new and affordable L-series ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that’s ideal for both film and digital SLRs. Superior optics are assured by the use of three Aspherical lens elements, in addition to a Super UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass element. Optical coatings are optimized for use with digital cameras. This canon 17 40mm lens focuses as close as 11 inches (0.28m), and offers both Canon’s full-time manual focus and a powerful ring-type USM for fast and silent AF. It has a constant f/4 maximum aperture, and offers the choice of screw-in 77mm filters or a holder in the rear of the lens for up to three gel filters. Finally, it offers weather-resistant construction similar to other high-end L-series lenses.

    About half the price of the 16-35 f/2.8 lens, this L-series lens has an entirely new optical design with three Aspherical elements and a Super UD-glass element. The combination provides superb contrast and sharpness, even at the widest settings. It’s ideal for both film and digital SLRs, and features the same weather-resistant design, rear gel filter holder, and high-speed Ultrasonic Motor as the EF 16-35mm lens.

    Customer Digital SLR Lens Reviews

    Definitely worth it.4
    I own a lot of L series lenses from Canon and love this 40mm lens. I used it for a year on my 40D and was pleased, not extatic. Upon upgrading to the 5Dm2 I became extatic. The quality is great on a crop factor but when you compare it to the full frame, you will notice the difference. I also own the 16-35 f/2.8 and if you can afford it, that is the better lens to go with it. The price does correspond to the quality. Overall, I think that anyone buying this lens will be very happy, full framers more so than crop factor types.

    VERY VERY pleased… WOW5
    I’ll just let the photo’s I took do the talking, I took some of my Fender Stratocaster (see most recent photo’s)… The lense is amazing, my company is doing product shots now and I bought this lens so conquer the troubles that it might bring… With very little setup I got some tremendous shots… Amazing and the price it fantastic… If you are thinking about it, it’s a no brainer… My shots were shot with a Rebel XTI.. and these people sent this item fast… You will be very happy with this lens PERIOD!!! Have no fear, click the buy button…

    SLR Camera Lens Product Description

    With this 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens, flipping a macro switch in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm obtains a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at a minimum focus distance as short as 37.4-inches, enabling close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally require the use of a specially designed macro lens. Moreover, this is a ef 70 zoom lens that casually offers the distant capture and foreshortening effect pleasures of the ef 300mm ultra-telephoto world.

    Customer Digital SLR Lens Reviews

    Quantary gets the job done nicely.4
    This ef lens is very light for lenses with this focal range. I’ve tried out the Canon 70-200 with IS wich is far superior, but far heavier since it is an L-series lens. If you don’t have the $1500 to spend on the canon ef 70, then this is a good ef zoom lens until you know your ready to spend the big money.

    I take pictures of my daughter at her soccer game with it and I’ve also done some nice lunar shots at night with it. The quality is good and I can’t complain. With an aperture range from 4 to 5.6, it’s not bad and I’ve also gotten some great portraits with the lens. I highly recommend it if you aren’t making money shooting pictures and you want a nice wide focal range.

    high-image-quality telephoto zoom lens .4
    I’m a relative newbie to the photography world and received this lens as a gift shortly after purchasing my digital SLR camera (Canon Rebel XTi). On the whole the ef lenses is a so-so lens, especially for the price and wide focal range. The image quality is okay and the color is okay… I usually end up boosting the contrast and color a bit in photoshop, but it’s decent enough. At the longer end (300mm) the bokeh is nice and good for amateur portraits. I did notice some chromatic aberration in some shots though…

    However, if you’re a newbie, and want to have a lens that will give you more options than the Canon SLR kit lenses (14-55), this may be a good starter option, especially b/c it’s so inexpensive. If you have a bigger budget and can afford something more, I’d save for a Canon lens. Better build and image quality.

    Slr camera lens that tool you must Have!5
    Wow! the  lens review that last time I’ve been so trigger happy was when I got my first Digital SLR lens. This l canon lens 85mm 1.2 canon is an amazing imaging tool. The quality of the bokeh… the colors and sharpness is just beautiful… This canon ef s lens a gem… anyone thinking about it should simply get it. New bodies will upgrade… ef lens like these will upgrade slowly… and can be used for years to come. Sure it’s a little heavy and a little slow to focus… but the upside is too great to NOT have this in your tool box. This  ef 85mm for sure my favorite canon 85 lens.

    Digital SLR Lens Reviews -Product Description

    Bring your photographic subjects closer with this Canon slr EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Lens. It is designed with Canon slr technology and is compact and light. This high zoom lens ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF lens). The image stabilizer effect is equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size zoom lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm zoom lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon’s slr 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. Detail in Review canon lens.
