Canon's aberration theory has been applied to the optical distribution of the front lens group and retrofocus system to correct astigmatism and increase AF speed. Other features include the fixed, petal-type hood, which also protects the lens and the Ring USM also provides Full-time Manual (FT-M) focusing. Using a Super wide-angle of such focal length for the first time can be bewildering, as well as awe-inspiring at the amount of space that it can include in the single frame. The lens' rear gelatin filter slot Its diagonal angle-of-view is 68-degrees more than what one can get with a 50mm standard lens and some 39-degrees wider than the field-of-view of a 28mm wide-angle focal length. These photos below show you just how much space the EF 14mm f/2.8L USM can capture as compared to those of the 50mm and 28mm lenses. 50mm lens' field-of-view 28mm lens' field-of-view     14mm lens' field-of-view The garden depicted in the photos above is part of Kuala Lumpur's famed Lake Garden. When shot with the 50mm focal length, the scene available does not show anyone the exact appearance of the garden's actual circling look. It is slightly better in the photo shot with the 28mm focal length as the circling style is more much apparent. In the photo shot with the 14mm lens, we can clearly distinguish the exact shape of the garden as well as the staircase-cum-walkway that leads to the fountain located in the middle of the circle. With a large maximum aperture of f/2.8, the EF 14mm f/2.8L USM is perfect for use in available and most low light shooting conditions, even with ISO 64 and 100 films. The first photo (below, top left) shows the exaggerated perspective distortion common with the 14mm focal length by making the refrigerator look much larger than everything else in the scene. The exaggerated perspective also tends to make background items smaller and lengthens the distance from the main subject or anything else available in the foreground, as shown in the next photo of the mannequins.

A grab shot is very easy to achieve with the EF 14mm f/2.8L USM Super wide-angle lens as the depth-of-field is so deep that one does not really have to rely on focusing to get everything in focus. The deeper depth-of-field coupled with the lens' wider field-of-view also makes the main concourse of Suria KLCC look as though it has taken on a futuristic appearance, as shown in the photo above. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 .
