Canon EF 28–200mm lens

Last updated

The EF28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM lens was a superzoom lens made by Canon Inc.

The lens has an EF-type mount, which fits the Canon EOS line of cameras. Due to its big focal range, it is useful for travel photography. One review rated the image quality of this lens as poor. [1]

This lens has covered roughly the same focal length range for 35 mm (full frame) like the EF-S 18–135mm lens is currently covering for cropped sensor (35 mm equivalent focal length: 29–216mm). The EF-S 18–135mm lens is one of the standard lenses, often sold with Canon EF-S cameras as bundle. Currently a similar lenses are available for cameras with Canon EF lens mount only from third party manufacturers. [2] Available Canon lenses, which have the closest focal length are e.g. the EF 28–300mm lens, which is much more heavier, or the EF 70–200mm f/4L, which is missing something at the lower end of the focal length.

Canon EF lens mount standard lens mount on the Canon EOS family

The EF lens mount is the standard lens mount on the Canon EOS family of SLR film and digital cameras. EF stands for "Electro-Focus": automatic focusing on EF lenses is handled by a dedicated electric motor built into the lens. Mechanically, it is a bayonet-style mount, and all communication between camera and lens takes place through electrical contacts; there are no mechanical levers or plungers. The mount was first introduced in 1987.

Canon FD lens mount standard lens mount on the Canon FD family

The Canon FD lens mount is a physical standard for connecting a photographic lens to a 35mm single-lens reflex camera body. The standard was developed by Canon of Japan and was introduced in March 1971 with the Canon F-1 camera. It served as the Canon SLR interchangeable lens mounting system until the 1987 introduction of the Canon EOS series cameras, which use the newer EF lens mount. The FD mount lingered through the release of the 1990 Canon T60, the last camera introduced in the FD system, and the end of the Canon New F-1 product cycle in 1992.

Canon EF 17–40mm lens

The EF 17–40mm f/4L USM lens is a wide-angle lens made by Canon Inc. The lens has an EF mount to work with the EOS line of cameras. Other than the front element, it is sealed against dust and water, and features a diaphragm which remains nearly circular from f/4 to f/8. It is one of the few Canon photo lenses that are parfocal.

Canon EF 50mm lens Wikimedia disambiguation page

The EF 50mm lenses are a group of normal prime lenses made by Canon that share the same focal length. These lenses are based on the classic double-Gauss lens, with the f/1.8 being a standard six-element double-Gauss with an air gap and powers between element 2 and 3 and its faster cousins adding additional elements. The 50mm focal length, when used with a 35mm film or full-frame sensor, has been widely considered to match the perspective seen by the human eye.
