The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM wide-angle lens is a 21st century update to a popular and widely used fixed focal length lens. This is a fixed focal length wide-angle 28mm lens equipped with Canon Optical Image Stabilizer technology, superb image quality and performance perfect for use in any number of photographic applications. Designed for EOS R-series full-frame mirrorless cameras, this is the wide-angle member of the f/2.8 ‘trinity’ zooms. As you’d expect from such an ultra-wide lens with a fast f/2.8 aperture rating, it’s quite big and weighty but is nevertheless smaller and lighter than, for example, the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 Art lens for Canon SLRs. Because it is dark out, a wide aperture lens is strongly prefered. I recommend an at-least f/2.8 lens and the Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L II USM Lens is typically with me when I travel to dark sky locations. Wide angle focal lengths work best for this type of shot. Even when using a wide aperture lens, long exposure times are needed. The 28 f/2.8 IS lens design has 4 additional lens elements (9 vs 5) over the previous non-IS design, but remarkably shows less flare than the previous lens. Almost none - flare is very well controlled. The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens has a small amount of barrel distortion - slightly less than the older 28. A unique lens that offers both a wide angle focal length (24mm) and very wide aperture (f/1.4). Some might question the usefulness of such a fast lens at this focal length, but for those doing indoor photography (i.e. wedding, event) often you can never get enough natural light and f/1.2-f/2.0 is the range you want to be in if possible.
