Fix the Canon EF-S 17-55 mm f/2.8 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens to your camera and capture high-quality close-up shots. This lens features 1:2.8 aperture to deliver high-performance for your Canon EOS (SLR) digital camera systems. The large circular aperture produces a shallow depth-of-field, creating background blur that draws attention to the photographic subject. The lens construction includes UD and aspherical elements, which deliver impressive image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Image Stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for camera movement so that the image appears steady on the image plane, ensuring clear, crisp images, even in dim light. With a Ring-type USM, inner focusing and new AF algorithms, this lens achieves auto-focus quickly and quietly, and with full-time mechanical manual focusing; manually adjusting the focus is possible even in AF mode. With a lens construction of 19 elements in 12 groups, a 5-group helical zoom system and a 1.15 ft. closest focusing distance, the lens offers precision focusing for versatile and easy subject selection.
