Manufacturer description #1

This was developed as part of the L-series lens that has gained much recognition as a high performance lens, and it utilizes fluorite (artificial crystal) and UD glass lens element to minimize chromatic aberration. It is extremely difficult to manufacture large artificial crystals of fluorite and this inevitably leads to high prices, but Canon has established a new manufacturing technology enabling significant reductions in manufacturing costs, achieving both high performance and an affordable price with this lens.

It also has a macro mechanism for shooting as close as 0.95m throughout the entire focal length range.

Manufacturer description #2

A telephoto zoom which covers the frequently used range of 85mm, 100mm, 135mm and 200mm, this is a high performance lens with a maximum aperture of f/4 and zoom ratio of 2.5. With a total length of 153mm and weight of 675 grams, this lens is lightweight and compact for its class. It uses a fluorine and UD glass element to obtain sharp images and minimize spectral aberrations. A minimum focusing distance of 0.95m (in Macro) provides additional flexibility.
