Canon EF16-35mm f/2.8L II USM LensA collection of information and links for Canon's new EF lensesWarning, this page does contain rumours from the internet - take them with a suitably large pinch of salt!
The What's New Page gives a quick overview of the hundreds of pages of articles and picture on this site. This page is part of the Reviews feature in our Articles and info section Our main Canon rumours page is for the replacement for the 1Ds Mk2 although we are also starting to collect info on Canon's possible move into medium format (not a high probability at the moment, but who knows) Latest articles (not rumours... :-) on our site: >> Pinnacle Photo Oyster paper- A review of a new Lustre finish paper from a local supplier, tested while we were looking for a good economic paper for our commercial decorative prints, rather than some of the Fine Art papers we normally use. Follows on from our reviews of: Innova Fibaprint Glazed, Epson Traditional Photo Paper Innova Ultra Glossy Canvas and the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 EF16-35mm f/2.8L II

EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Superior image quality Canon’s engineers have completely redesigned the optics on the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM to deliver higher contrast levels and improved resolving power. To ensure corner-to-corner sharpness and contrast throughout the focal range, the lens includes three types of aspherical lens elements (ground, replicated and glass moulded). Two UD lens elements virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, while Super Spectra lens coatings suppress flare and ghosting. Rapid auto focus is driven by a virtually silent Ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) incorporating Canon’s latest auto focus algorithms. Full-time mechanical manual focus override is also provided. As with all L-series lenses, the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM is weather sealed to protect against dust and moisture. A new 82mm Protect filter for the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM has been released to coincide with today’s launch.
