The Bronze Award-winning EF11-24mm f/4L USM boasts an impressive minimum focal length of 11 mm to achieve the world’s widest angle of view.2 Thanks to the optimal placement of four aspherical elements, including a ground aspherical element, the lens corrects for aberrations that often occur with wide-angle lenses to make possible superior image-quality performance from edge to edge. The EF11-24mm f/4L USM offers such noteworthy design characteristics as a foremost element featuring proportions that make it instantly identifiable as an ultra-wide-angle lens, superior usability that has been optimized for shooting, and a refined surface finish.
