The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM is a wonderful wide-angle lens. Using the Canon EF 28 you will capture more in the frame to get clear sharp photos.
The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM not only expands the apparent distance between the foreground and background, but brings more area into focus--a must for photographers who want vivid nature shots or crisp group shots. The Canon EF 28 lens also offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio, with a high-precision aspherical lens that minimizes distortion and other aberrations to produce sharp and high-contrast images. Light enough to serve as your standard wide-angle lens, the EF 28mm carries Canon's one-year warranty.
With the large maximum aperture, excellent background blur is possible even with a fast shutter speed. The aspherical lens element makes the EF 28mm lens compact and corrects spherical aberrations. The image is sharp even at the edges.
