a favourite among landscape and travel photographers, the 16-35mm focal range is wide enough to fit in the majestic world views that you are lucky to feast your eyes upon, while it has just enough zoom to compose your images with freedom and be usable for your everyday shooting. the large f2.8aperture adds to the versatility of the lens, allowing for handheld shooting in all manner of lighting conditions without your memories being destroyed by blurry photographs.

for focusing on your photographs and even your videos, the 16-35mm iii really has you covered, with super fast and quiet autofocus being supplemented by full-time manual focus. the autofocus is performed by a ring-type usm motor which is done internally, helping the lens to retain a reasonably compact size even when focusing.
