From the Manufacturer
Long requested by professionals, it’s the standard lens for many photojournalists and others who value its low-light capability and performance. With the help of an Aspheric lens element, its contrast and sharpness are stunning, even wide-open at f/1.4. Solid construction, a powerful ring-type USM for smooth and fast AF, and fulltime manual focusing make this a great lens for film or digital shooters.

Wide and Fast
If you need an ultra-wide angle and a large aperture, one of the following lenses will fit the bill. Ultra-wide-angle lenses can capture scenes beyond your natural field of vision. The EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye, the widest of them all, has a 180° angle of view. For more normal-looking wide-angle shots, there are longer wide-angle lenses up to 35mm with the maximum aperture you need.
